Apple will be required to deliver 20W, 35W, 67W, 96W, or 140W USB-C chargers to all affected Brazilian consumers. iPhone owners must physically present their device or an appropriate invoice for a mobile phone or something more affordable to the consumer to prove they purchased the products after October 13, 2020.

Judge Karamuru Francisco’s decision used the argument that selling cell phones without a charger was abusive and amounted to “selling a marriage upside down”.

“As for social losses, they are, as the defendant deliberately and deliberately sought to create this circumstance, justifying the “green initiative”, to harm its consumers,” he added. The decision can be appealed.

In September, the Ministry of Justice had already imposed a fine of 12.2 million reais for the same reason and suspended sales of this model.
