Reply to comment by _dm_me_ur_tits in Apple slapped with a $19 million fine in Brazil for not selling iPhones with a charger by mepper

You don’t have to buy an Apple charger though. iPhones work with any charger.

Which is why this ruling makes no sense to me.

They give you the cord which lets you plug into any usb-c power brick. My house has like 5 of them, some apple some not.

I don’t want another. It’s unnecessary e-waste. The planet dammit doesn’t need every single person who purchases an iPhone to be given another bloody piece of e-waste to go with it.

okay but now imagine you don't have a charging brick just handy at home, they all broke or you had to move to a new place and needed to restart from scratch. Now it becomes an issue of having to buy another product in order to use the thing you already bought.

I’m confused as to how this argument makes any sense.

Yes, if something that you need breaks, you need to purchase a new one.

How does that relate in any way to this situation?

Its not about having one and it breaks and replacing it.

Its about those who just plain don't have one.

You shouldnt have to buy a phone and then buy another product in order to charge that phone.
