When the conference is countdown, it is troublesome to bother Brazil's ban on sale without charger Apple mobile phone

Zhongxin Jingwei, September 7th. According to Reuters, the Brazilian government ordered Apple to stop selling iPhone without battery chargers in the country on September 6, saying that Apple provided incomplete products provided by consumers.

It is reported that the Brazilian Ministry of Justice imposed a fine of 122.75 million (about 2.38 million US dollars) on Apple, and ordered the cancellation of the sales of iPhone12 and updated models. In addition, it also suspended the sale of any iPhone models without charger.

It is reported that the relevant Brazilian departments have refuted that Apple's statement aims to reduce carbon emissions on this approach, saying that there is no evidence that the sale of smartphones without a charger is environmentally friendly.

According to public reports, in April this year, a court of Geiania, Brazil ruled that Apple did not include a charging plug in the iPhone packaging box, which violated the consumer protection law. Essence

According to Article 39 of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Law (CDC), "matching sales" is a method of abuse and prohibition in Brazil, so it is not allowed to sell mobile phones and charging plugs separately. In this case, Apple sold a iPhone model and charging plug in a consumer in Gania, and was convicted to compensate the user of 5,000 Real.

Apple said in the defense that it is clear that the iPhone is not equipped with a charger and removed the charger for environmental reasons. Apple said that the decision of removing chargers from the iPhone12 can save 2 million tons of carbon emissions each year, accounting for about 10%of Apple's annual emissions.

Public information shows that Apple will hold a press conference on September 7, local time, and the market forecast conferences include iPhone14 mobile phones. (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)
