I think they just ship the phones to places where they can still be sold like the UK.
They've also known about this deadline for years and were always allowed to switch to USB-C at literally any time before then (like they did years ago with the iPad Pro and Macbook).
If any e-waste occurred, it is squarely because of Apple's utter pettiness.
I doubt they still have that many lightning iPhones. This is mostly about lightning accessories.
I really hope so.
