iPhones in Brazil stores seized after Apple fails to add chargers

[neyohk]

Brazil’s federal consumer protection regulator has started confiscating iPhones from retail stores after the country’s justice ministry ordered that they may not be sold without chargers.

According to a report from Brazilian publication Tecnoblog, Procon-DF seized “hundreds of iPhones” from several carrier stores and Apple resellers in Brazil’s capital city, Brasilia.

The effort forms part of “Operation Discharge”, an attempt by the regulator to get Apple to comply with the decision by the justice ministry agency Senacon, made in September 2022.

Apple has requested the government to allow sales of the iPhone without charging bricks pending the outcome of its challenge to the justice ministry’s order.

Great job. Those mofos just want more profit by cutting down the charger disguising it as protecting the environment. If they really care about the environment they should avoid releasing new iphones annually
