Brazil’s Ministry of Justice and Public Security, on Tuesday, disclosed that it has fined Apple Inc. 12.275 million reais (£2.04m).
Brazilian consumer agency Senacon said that Apple is selling an incomplete product by not including power adapters – discriminating against consumers.
Apple in a statement to Reuters said,
“We are confident that our customers are aware of the various options for charging and connecting their devices,” Apple said.
The fine and ban on sales of iPhones without USB power adapters was announced a day before Apple showcased its new iPhone 14, 14 Pro and Apple Watch Ultra.
São Paulo’s consumer protection agency fined Apple £2m last year, saying the sale of iPhone 12 and every model since then, violates consumer law because they don’t come with chargers.
