can't associate new device to my Apple account since I already have 10 devices

I just bought a new iPhone and turns out I can't associate the device to my Apple account since I already have 10 devices. There are 2 devices no longer in use, and in which I signed out already but still they don't show as "Removable". This is a serious (and useless) limitation that is preventing me to do things like download music in my new iPhone and I need to wait 28 days?


Is there any workaround please?

See the support article: View and remove your devices that are associated with Apple ID purchases - Apple Support - What this is saying is for certain actions such as turning on Match, Apple Music, Family Sharing, automatic downloads, or re-downloading of past purchases there is a 90 day waiting period between associating [using] a computer or mobile device with a new Apple ID . There is no wait for making new purchases.
