Apple gets fined $19 million for selling iPhones without a charger

It's not the first time that Apple is in trouble over the phone.

A Brazilian court ordered Apple to pay 100 million reais for not including a charge for the phones in the country.

While Apple maintains that it is about reducing carbon emissions, the Brazilian court's reasoning is that the company imposes on the consumer a required purchase of chargers that were previously supplied along with the product.

Apple said it will appeal the court's decision and that it will have to ship charger for new phones in Brazil.

In September, a Brazilian court ordered Apple to stop selling its products in the country because of this.

According to 9to5Mac, Apple's iPhone 14 and 14 Pro, which became available for pre-order in Brazil last week, won't have a charging port.

Brazil and the European Union have been pushing for a long time for Apple to switch to a standard port for its phones. It hasn't happened with the iPhone 14 line of devices, but reports say that Apple is at least considering making the switch in time for the next iteration of the device.
