This entire thing is based on the author missing and still never noticing after writing this entire rant up the key term in the initial rejection:

  > Apps with compatibility references to a pre-GM version

Apple didn't say you can't mention the iPhone XR, they said you can't claim compatibility with it yet... the author went through some great lengths to play up the absurdity of Apple wanting to keep the model under wraps and it's pretty clear that was never what they were asking

Combined with childish behavior and trying to follow the letter but not the spirit of the rules. A great idea if you’re being judged by a computer, a bad idea if you’re requesting a person to re-review your app.

Why not just state ‘compatibility updates’ and nothing else?

Because had OP done that, then wouldn’t have been able to write up this childish screed I just wasted time reading as well as everyone else and thus make a total arse of themself, and waste app reviewers time because OP can’t be an adult.
