The court has put Apple between a rock and a hard place for not including a charger in its cell phone.

As we well know, from 2020, Apple decided to remove chargers from the boxes of its smartphones, as well as EarPods, which were always included in previous years.

The move took many by surprise, most of whom were deeply disappointed with the Californian company, but time has shown that it was not only his ideaAs with the 3.5mm jack, most companies have followed suit.

All this makes those buyers who have never had an iPhone, buy charger separatelywhich increases the cost. Apple argued why turn it on when you already had it at home before, and that it’s good for the health of the planet (in a way, they’re right).

Good, if Apple decided to change the charging port to Type C (ahem ahem), such a solution would make sense for all types of users, since almost 99% of today’s products use this port, and a charger would be easier to have on hand.

In addition, not only that, but also the presence of a USB Type C port this will allow us to use the same charger for all of our devices.but Apple for some unknown reason can not cope.

Well, a user in Brazil was not very amused, and thanks to Brazilian laws preventing the device and charger from being sold separately, Apple was forced to pay this user 1081 dollars.

All this after passing the test in the city of Goiania. Article 39 of the Brazilian Consumer Code helped this annoying user because this code declares that the charger is an integral part of the device and must be supplied with it..

It was useless for Apple to set up an environmental movement to get rid of this fine, which sets a precedent for other countries with similar laws.

To be honest, Apple should have done a better job of exploring possible ways to get the charger out of the boxes without getting in the way of its users. One of them would be change the port to Type C, decided. And still, perhaps, at the time of purchase, give a charger to those users who have never had a device with a Lightning port before.

Whatever it is, it’s supposed to be Apple saved about $6.5 billion With the chargers removed and the $1,000 fine paid, it looks like it won’t take any effort.

This case is not the first, as in France the law also requires headphones to be included by default, and it seems that Apple has given up on this. And European law may force them to include a Type C connector by default, let’s hope they comply.
