In Brazil, the iPhone 13 series doesn’t come with a power adapter, which could force Apple to pay a fine, as it did when the iPhone 12 series went on sale.
Considering imposing a fine following the sale of the iPhone 12 series
Brazil’s Consumer Protection Agency (PROCON) fines Apple $ 1.9 million for not including a power adapter in the iPhone 12 series and provides it to those who want it Apple Insider reports that he had ordered that.
PROCON says that the iPhone 13 series does not include a power adapter this time, and seems to be considering taking the same measures against Apple.
PROCON’s Fernando Capys explains that the reason for fines for not including a power adapter is essentially the same as raising the price.
As a specific example, he said, “Suppose a consumer goes to a supermarket and buys a 400-gram product for 20 reals (about 410 yen). Then, when the same product 300 grams is sold for 20 reals (about 410 yen). Must inform consumers that the selling price is the same but the quantity has been reduced, as consumers can see. “
Samsung distributes power adapter to Galaxy S21 series purchasers free of charge
Apple has explained on its website that the iPhone 13 series does not come with a power adapter, but PROCON doesn’t seem to be a good deal.
PROCON has previously accused Samsung of the same issue. However, Samsung did not impose a fine because it agreed to provide a free power adapter to Galaxy S21 series purchasers.
