In October 2020, PROCON.SP launched an investigation into Apple's lack of a power adapter with the iPhone 12. Apple explains that the reason why the iPhone 12 does not come with a power adapter is `` to reduce the burden on the environment.'' We have not demonstrated that such environmental benefits can be obtained.'
In addition, PROCON.SP asked Apple, ``Did the selling price of the iPhone 12 decrease by not including the power adapter?'' It seems that he inquired about 'Did the number of power adapters produced decrease because the power adapter is no longer included?' However, there seems to have been no response from Apple.
Apart from the ``iPhone 12 does not come with a power adapter'' problem, PROCON.SP points out that Apple has problems such as ``misleading ads,'' ``issues with iOS updates,'' and ``unfair terms.'' doing. Specifically, ``I didn't repair the iPhone that was submerged in water'' and ``I didn't support the problem that occurred with the iPhone after the update'', etc. Fernando, Executive Director of PROCON.SP Mr. Capez warns that 'Apple must respect Brazilian laws and systems.'
Apple did not respond to PROCON.SP's inquiry, but if you disagree with the fine imposed by PROCON.SP, you can appeal to the court.
In addition, overseas media The Verge has asked Apple to comment on this fine, but at the time of writing the article has not received a response.
