In fact, this move, which was adopted by other phone manufacturers in a short time, caused public reactions. After this decision, Samsung and Xiaomi also removed the adapter from the phone boxes. A news that emerged today showed that Apple’s decision could have legal consequences.
Apple, which sells its phones without a charging adapter in Brazil as well as all over the world, was sued by a customer. The subject of the case was naturally the charging adapter. The court concluded today that the court found the customer right.
Apple says its customers already have chargers in their homes
A customer who sued the company for missing a charging adapter in the box has emerged victorious from a long-running lawsuit. In the court in Brazil, the judge ordered Apple to pay $1,000 compensation to the customer because the product sold by the company did not have a charger. Previously, the Brazilian government had fined Apple $2 million for this issue.
Defending itself in court before the verdict, the company said that many customers already have charging adapters in their homes. The environmental benefits of removing the chargers out of the box were also presented to the judge. Let’s see if this decision will change things in the country. We will wait and see..
