Even if they did, people would just import them from countries where it isn't banned. People would still use their products, it's just Apple won't officially be present on the EU market.

          The problem would be for Apple themselves because they would lose massive market. This is exactly why when EU orders something, Apple has to comply.

                Seriously, If a company gives gifts(money) to politicians, then you can be sure that's so laws favorable to them will be implemented not the other way around.

Listen I know this is amazing to someone like you but there is a thing called a phone contract so Apple phones are now within the reach of virtually everyone so you're not special. And please stop bragging about your salary as it is just disgusting and probably not true. And I guess someone has to buy that gaming phone.
