Brazil bans the sale of iPhone without charger, and the official accuses Apple of deliberately discriminating against consumers!
When Apple launched the new iPhone 12 series in 2020, it officially announced that it would not give away the charger. Although Apple officially said that it was for the sake of environmental protection and energy conservation, it still made many consumers feel very uncomfortable. Recently, Brazil officially said that it would directly ban the sale of iPhone without a charger. Apple was responsible for discriminating against consumers, and this move also hit a hot search, Now let's take a look at the specific news!
On September 6, the Brazilian government ordered Apple to stop selling iPhones without battery chargers in the country, saying that Apple's products to consumers were incomplete. The Brazilian Ministry of Justice fined Apple 122.75 million reais (about 2.38 million US dollars), ordered the cancellation of sales of iPhone 12 and newer models, and suspended the sale of any iPhone12 models without chargers.
Specific messages
Apple said in its defense that it was obvious that the iPhone was not equipped with a charger, and the charger was removed for environmental reasons. Apple said that the decision to remove the charger from the iPhone 12 could save it 2 million tons of carbon emissions annually, accounting for about 10% of Apple's annual emissions.
Apple will hold the 2022 Autumn New Product Launch at 1 a.m. Beijing time on September 8, when the iPhone 14 series will be sold worldwide. At present, this series of models will have 6.1 inch iPhone 14, 6.7 inch iPhone 14 Max, 6.1 inch iPhone 14 Pro and 6.7 inch iPhone 14 Pro Max, and probably will not provide chargers. Does this mean that the upcoming iPhone 14 series will also be banned in Brazil?
It is believed that many people are very happy about the ban on iPhone sales in Brazil. Although Apple no longer gives chargers in the name of environmental protection, it undoubtedly saves a lot of costs from the perspective of benefits. There is no relevant measure in China. We can only say that the brand of Apple has too much influence in the world and is "spoiled" by consumers!
