Take it up with the eu if you want them to change the test just for apple.

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.
 

That's easy to do, but Arlen claimed that everybody knows that Apple batteries failed the battery testing in the EU, yet has been unable to post a single reliable link. I don't have to do the work, it is his claim.

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.

I never buy Apple.

 Even the iPhone 15 only met the rules because Apple changed the algorithm.

Interesting that you post the same dubious link that Arlen.

 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.
