When Apple introduced the iPhone 12 series, their decision to not include a charger in the box was not received positively by many consumers. Now, Consumer protection Foundation Procon-SP, from Sao Paulo has made a fine of $2 million on Apple for selling iPhones without a charger in Brazil.
Apple's primary reasoning for removing the charger was to lessen their environmental impact by reducing carbon emissions and the use of rare-earth metals. However, Procon-SP did not agree with their reasoning, fined them, and started that Apple needs to respect and understand Brazilian consumer law and institutions.
Procon claims that Apple refused to repair iPhone's that supposedly had "Water-damage" that was under warranty. Other chargers include deliberately slowing down iPhones and Ios updates while not informing the costumers.
