The iPhone 14 series was introduced by Apple earlier this year. Multiple improvements above the ordinary versions are made to the new iPhone 14 Pro series. The charging speed was one area where there was no enhancement or upgrade.

Like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series, Apple did not include a charger with the device. The business has been the target of litigation because of the decision, which it says was made to protect the environment and lessen e-waste.

Brazil rejects this and has chosen to penalise Apple $19 million for leaving a charger out of the box. Following a case brought by the Brazilian association of borrowers, consumers, and taxpayers, the Brazilian court issued the ruling (AMBCC).

According to the Reuters report, Apple has been instructed to include a charger in the package when selling its latest iPhone models in Brazil.

Since beginning to sell iPhones in Brazil without a charger in the package, Apple has been involved in legal disputes there for a considerable amount of time. Apple announced that it has ceased including chargers in the package after the most recent order in an effort to reduce carbon emissions. It made the case that customers could use their existing chargers to recharge the iPhone battery using the included wire.

As an alternative, Apple still sells chargers separately, which customers may get from a variety of online and physical retailers.

The $19 million fine was imposed on Apple by the Brazilian court when it became clear that the trillion dollar US tech company's defence was unconvincing. Additionally, Apple was mandated to pack a charger in the box. The business will challenge the court's decision.

The Justice Ministry of Brazil recently penalised Apple $2.38 million for failing to provide the charger in the box. The ministry said that by excluding a charger from the packaging, Apple was giving customers a defective product.

Additionally, it instructed Apple to halt sales of its iPhones in India until Brazilian customers received a charger in the box. Apple refused to abide by the directive and announced it will challenge the decision while coordinating with authorities to allay any worries.
