While Apple launched the iPhone 12 series last year, Apple announced that it would no longer offer charging adapters and earbuds inside the box due to environmental reasons. He added that it would reduce carbon emissions by not manufacturing these products. However, Apple has now faced the wrath of Brazil’s consumer watchdog Procon-SP for this decision.
Procon-SP fined Apple $ 2 million for not including the charger in the iPhone 12 series’ boxes. It is alleged that Apple is misleading consumers with advertisements and charging them on unfair terms. Apple has questioned that the phone did not reduce the cost even if the charger was included.
Fernando Capez, executive director of Procon-SP, said Apple needs to understand that there are consumer protection laws and institutions in Brazil. While an iPhone 12 Mini in the US costs $ 729, it costs about $ 1270 in Brazil. Apple has not yet commented on these charges.
