Apple is all set for its far-out event which is going to start a few hours from now. The new 2022 iPhone 14 lineup is expected to launch at the same event. Well, before the event, the Brazil Government reportedly ordered Apple to stop selling their iPhones in the country without chargers. On top of that, the brand has also been fined in the country for providing an incomplete product.
Apple to stop iPhone sales in Brazil; Here’s why?
The Brazilian government reportedly penalised Apple BRL 12.275 million for neglecting to include a charger in the package with its iPhone models, stating that customers were given an unfinished product. According to Reuters, the Brazilian Justice Ministry has ordered Apple to stop selling the iPhone 12 and subsequent versions, as well as other iPhone models that do not include a charger.

The ministry also argued that the absence of the charger was a “deliberate discriminatory conduct against consumers,” and that the iPhone lacked an “essential” component. The Justice Ministry reportedly rejected the company’s reasoning for not including a charger in the box, claiming that there was no evidence of environmental benefits from the absence of a charger.
All the reasons provided by Apple for not including chargers in the box of iPhones have been neglected by the government body and the brand has been ordered to stop selling iPhones in the country. Let’s see what will be the brand take on this order! Will they follow the order or will change their policy of not providing charges in the box?
