    Apple was fined for not including the charger with the iPhone 12

    During the past hours Apple was fined in Brazil for her decision to stop the inclusion of a loader from the wall inside the box iPhone 12, the latest novelty launched last fall. The Brazilian state of Sao Paulo was not very happy with the move and on Friday Procon-SP - the state consumer protection agency - fined the tech giant an amount equivalent to about 1,9 million dollars for violating its Consumer Code. The size of the fine is clearly reduced for a company that recorded revenues of 111,4 billion dollars in the last quarter alone, which can be defined among other things as a record of earnings arrived in a period of considerable success for the company. Despite this, however, recently some rumors have seen the production of 12 iPhone Mini due to its poor sales.



    Following the fine, the executive director of Procon-SP Fernando Capez warned California-based Apple that it should be careful to comply with Brazilian consumer laws and institutions. Second 9to5Mac, Apple did not respond to Procon-SP requests when asked if it had reduced the cost of the iPhone 12 after removing the charger. It also offered no answers to questions about the price of the iPhone with and without chargers and whether it had reduced the number of chargers it produced.

    When the news first surfaced in December 2020, Apple insisted that they removed the charger for environmental reasons, a decision that allows it to avoid wasting precious raw materials and energy building components that many people already own. Despite this, critics weren't impressed, saying Apple would make the move in an effort to get customers to choose its charger. MagSafe wireless or its fastest power supply.
