 All iphones failed the eu's minimum battery life test when first proposed.
Take it up with the eu if you want them to change the test just for apple.

 Source? Post a credible link, and not a link to an Arlen post in Usenet. An article by the BBC, Le Monde, would be perfect.

Given Apple published their response to the EU rules and knowing those
rules go into effect on June 20th, you'll find your answer simply by
waiting until then and watch every Apple iPhone being forbidden for sale in
the EU after that date except for two models. Two models. And only two models.
Since you can't find the answer now, try to buy an iPhone 14 in the EU
after that date and you'll find your answer out.
Even the iPhone 15 only met the rules because Apple changed the algorithm.

I'm surprised the EU allowed Apple that subterfuge, but if Apple didn't
change the algorithm, it would have only been one model allowed for sale.
No need to respond now.
Wait and see what Apple can no longer sell after June 20th, 2025.
This is good for the consumer. Bad for Apple. People can now keep their phones longer before the batteries die.
