A Brazilian court has again imposed a 100 million reais ($19 million) fine on Apple Inc and ruled that battery chargers must come with new iPhones sold in the country.
This comes after a lawsuit was filed by the association of borrowers, consumers, and taxpayers, alleging that the brand is committing abusive practices by selling its premium devices without a charger.
The company might introduce USB-C to its newest AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods by the year 2024, while Mac accessories like the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad may convert to USB-C as soon as the next year.
While Apple maintains that its decision to ship iPhones without chargers is about reducing carbon emissions, the Brazilian court’s reasoning is that the company “imposes on the consumer a required purchase of charger adaptors that were previously supplied along with the product.”
