In September, the Brazilian Ministry of Justice ordered Apple to stop selling the iPhone if the package did not include a power supply, and it was fined BRL 12.275 million, the equivalent of $ 2.34 million. .
Now Cupertino has been fined again for the same thing, this time by the civil court of São Paulo. The lawsuit, filed by the Brazilian Consumer Organization, claimed that for the product to work, a second purchase must be made and Apple must pay BRL 100 million (about $ 19 million) in damages.

According to Judge Caramuru Afonso Francisco, Apple must provide chargers to all consumers in Brazil who have purchased iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 devices in the past two years, and must include adapters in future purchases as well. The decision is not final and can be appealed.
Apple cites environmental reasons for shipping only the lighting to USB-C cable and not the adapter in iPhones since 2020. Numerous other manufacturers have followed suit since then, particularly in the premium segment.
