Brazilian consumer watchdog issues $2 million fine
Well, it was probably just a matter of time until this happens. The Brazilian consumer watchdog, officially known as Procon-SP, has decided to issue a $2 million fine for Apple (at today’s exchange rates) for not including a charger in the box of new iPhones. Back in the fall of 2020, Apple announced one of the most controversial changes in a long time: the company launched the new iPhone 12 generation without a charger in the box, claiming that the whole thing is supposed to help protect the environment and reduce electronic waste.
