A Brazilian court fined the company iPhone $19 million for selling iPhones without a charger.
In the American company Apple a fine of 100 million Reals was imposed (respectively 19 millions dollars) by Judge Caramuru Afonso Francisco of the 18th Civil Court of the Court of São Paulo for selling iPhone cell phones without a charger.
In September, Brazil's Ministry of Justice and Public Security decided to suspend the sale of devices without chargers, fining Apple $2,3 million.
At the time, Apple claimed that not integrating the charger into the original device was intended to reduce carbon emissions. He had said he would appeal and effectively did not suspend the sale mobile of phones without a charger.
So with a new lawsuit from the Association of Borrowers, Consumers and Taxpayers of Brazil, Apple was dragged back to court where it was fined 100 million dollars which will go into a fund aimed at protection consumer rights.
The iPhone maker appealed the decision to the 20th Federal Court of the Federal District of Brazil, asking "for an order to immediately suspend all judgments against Apple and its resellers."
Selling cell phones without a charger isn't Apple's sole responsibility. Last October, the Ministry of Justice of Brazil informed the Samsung and Apple for non-compliance with an administrative decision made in 2020 that was relevant to the matter.
