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.
 
If you post a link to an Usenet post by Arlen, then you are another
Arlen alias, and thus ignored.

 
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.

"Fudzilla" is your credible link?   And this is clearly an opinion piece.

"Apple has fiddled with the iPhone 15's battery lifespan." THAT is an opinion
not based in any facts. It is also libelous.

"All it took was a magical press release, and the phones started charging
longer. This is somewhat magical because Apple is usually in trouble over
battery issues, so claiming they are suddenly lasting longer is a miracle with
raising the dead."

More opinions. 

"While the Tame Apple Press trumpets this claim without engaging its brain,
cynical organs like ourselves think this is just too convenient, given that
the change will come just in time for new EU rules that will give phones an
energy grade for their battery longevity."

More opinions.

"Starting in June 2025, smartphone and tablet makers doing business in the EU
will be given a grade (A to G) showing their energy efficiency, battery
longevity, protection from dust and water and resistance to accidental drops."

Finally, an actual fact.   In the fourth paragraph.

"Jobs Mob claims...".   Wow, no bias here.

Nope, this is not evidence of anything. Its all opinions by an obvious Apple
hater.  Try again.
