Well, where would they go? All EU countries will be subject to the same law, and I doubt they would just stop selling their product on the european market (it would still make them money even when paying normal taxes). Paying customs tariffs would probably be worse than paying taxes in the EU, too.

They could sell to resellers who would sell in Europe, if it came to that.

  Adding another layer isn't going to help them, the tax will need to be paid and the additional layer will incur additional costs.

    But still, people in Europe would be able to get iPhones, even if the cost is higher. They would never be banned like illegal narcotics.
