You know how long ago that guideline was approved? That was in 2023. That’s more than long enough for manufacturers to plan ahead and sell stock. The last non-USB-C iPhone was released in 2022. Apple doesn’t even sell the iPhone 15 any more, because it’s so old.
Also, there’s places outside of the EU too, so if they really have lots of left-over stock, just sell them in e.g. Eastern Europe or the UK.
Not very ecofriendly… i’d put “sell it at 25% original price until out of stock” or something.
