Once the phone runs out of battery, send it to warranty repair
Frankly, I don't see much of a problem with this.
They'll sell the "Apple" charging cable for $40 or something fucking insane, but as long as you can buy and use a normal USB-C cable that does exactly the same thing, go for it.
Of course being Apple, they will probably void the warranty or add an identifier to their cables so that nothing else works. In that case, I hope the EU bankrupts them completely.
Just remove the box and ship the phone naked
They are a huge tech company. They should have a checkbox in the checkout flow that lets you add a free cable if you need one.
