Founded in 1976, Apple has faced many lawsuits over 45 years. The famous company, which also has mutual lawsuits with big companies such as Microsoft, is now being sued by a student group living in China. The reason is the box contents of the new generation iPhone 13s…
Apple is now the target of Chinese students
The Cupertino company Apple, which issued a statement in March 2020, admitted that it deliberately slowed down older iPhone models. The lawsuit against the company concluded last year, and Apple was sentenced to pay 500 million dollars in damages. After the process, it was also ordered that all iPhone 6, 6S, 7 and SE owners who wanted to be paid $ 25 compensation across the USA.
Apple, which previously admitted to shortening the life of iPhone batteries, has been criticized for another issue for a long time: The box contents of the new generation iPhones…
With the release of the iPhone 12 series, Apple removed the charging adapter and headset from the box content. Although the company states that this is an environmentally friendly decision and to reduce the use of plastic, this decision also has an economic side. With the smaller boxes, the company can deliver more iPhones in a much shorter time, reducing transportation costs. It also saves the cost of the charger and headset.
After this decision, Apple, which has faced many lawsuits in the last year, was finally sentenced to a $2 million fine by the Brazilian Consumer Protection Board. According to the latest news, a group of students in China decided to sue the company because the iPhone 13 boxes did not come with a charger.
Publishing a statement about similar lawsuits filed before, Apple said that they were neither the first nor the last company to remove the charger from the boxes. However, the Chinese student group states that in such a case, customers should also be offered a package containing the charger.
