Apple already 100% replaced them.

Every 2018 model has Intel modems.

I wonder how many would-be customers of the affected phones are now self-upselling to a younger, more expensive model. This could be surprisingly painless for Apple. Lure people into stores with relatively cheap offers, then declare them unavailable: if they did the same thing without Qualcommm's involvement, it would be an illegal sales tactic.

Apple is still selling them in Germany, the article looks like it's final, but it's not.

Seems to be super coincidental doesn’t it...

It's not, Qualcomm is suing Apple because Apple dropped them. They have nothing to lose now.
