    Navy23, 07 Sep 2022Indian govt should do the same with iPhone and Samsung. 😁😁😁😁😁World should follow them, paying such amount of money and no charger in the box is unfair.

      Rosso, 07 Sep 2022"we have milion chargers at home" I bought a p... moreIf u have a million chargers at your home.
      Then just f***** give to millions who need them.

      U selfish pig just commenting for sake of fun
      Can't be tolerated....

      Those MFs suck more money from customers and don't provide accessories with phone.

      Should we ban them or support them?


      Would you accept if you buy coffee without cup
      How will drink ? With your table ? With your boxer ?

      Bullshit comeon, business ethics should be there.
      Phones with accessories is must.
      If not JUST F******* BAN them and go.

        Every country should take this initiative and ban the traitors samsung and apple.
        Ban all the phones without charger and earphone.
        Ban everywhere.

        They should learn the lesson from this. It's hard earn money, just for F***** phone we have to pay more. Why the hell they can't provide all the accessories with it??????

        Ban is really a good move.😁😁😁😁

          Anonymous, 07 Sep 2022no, they don't, how hard is to go and buy an charger, ... moreUr argument is total bullshit.
          Every year they charge more for just F phones.
          And what do we get instead?
          Just F phone. No charger, no earphones, no case, nothing.
          So for the price we pay, we expect all these
          And it's good move...

          Just u have millions of chargers doesn't mean we don't need it.

          It's F money and it's a basic ethics to provide charger.

            aknsreddy, 07 Sep 2022Very good initiative by Brazil i wish India same ballsIndian govt should do the same with iPhone and Samsung. 😁😁😁😁😁

                  Based Brazil.

                  Say what you want, but the charger does nothing in terms of pollution. A battery is by far more pollutant than a charger and not one bats an eye at them.

                  A charger can be easily recycled or given away to someone else. You cant do that with batteries

                          for me looks like the Brazil need money for nothing and found that will be a good way. You can buy whatever charger you want, you can choose, in the box will be the smallest and low power one.

                                Good for Brazil, hope more governments take this approach the phone business are making mugs of customers pleading it's all to do with wastage yet not reducing there prices just mugging people off!

                                Apple set the precedence here by taking them OTB so every manufacturer started doing it and now we have this whole sad situation.

                                        We don't need more chargers in 2022, HOWEVER it is quite simple, all the brazillian retailers have to do is be able to OFFER a free official charger for those that want one with a purchase of a new iPhone, I bet most people would not take one, but it is good to offer one to those that do, however given how slow apple chargers are compared to the 3rd party offerings, I wouldn't even bother anyway
