Thanks for sharing the link for the first time despite ranting about this
for the best part of three days. 

Now point to where the regulation confirms the subject of this thread i.e.
"every iphone <15 fails the EU [battery] longevity test".  Note the key
word "fails". Apple (or any other manufacturer) choosing to omit legacy
models from new regulations is not equivalent to failing to meet the
regulations.
