It's crazy to me that the EU is wasting their time making Apple use the same ports as other smartphones (https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/02/02/what-the-eu-manda...) when they could make it easier to replace _any_ Apple component with an equivalent. I see the other comments saying that this guy deserved to lose this specific case since he was calling the parts "refurbished" but it's not clear that there's any way for him to use aftermarket parts legally.

The parts are refurbished. There are very few iPhone components you can replace with something not made by Apple.
Norway is not a part of EU though.
