Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~2-year update track record — on that basis the Spark 30 Pro should be supported until around September 2026. Buying it today still gets you about 0.1 years of safe use, and Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years (verified June 2026).

TrueCost

Street price ÷ months of safe use remaining — the number that makes cheap short-lived phones expensive, and well-supported ones cheap.

Is the Spark 30 Pro worth buying in 2026?

Not for long-term use — support ends in 1 months. Only buy it used, cheap, and knowingly.
