                      the environment, why don't they encourage consumers to upgrade the phone after 5 years?
                      Everyone knows Apple stopped shipping chargers for business reasons. Some others followed the same.

                          Everytime Apple gets fined for something we experience price increase in that region
                          Why not just band them instead the make apple pay some change, and we pay the price 😒

                            This is the advantage of having a Right-Wing government instead of a Left-Wing one. Biden and Trudeau wouldn't dare stand up to Apple

                              $19M is too less.
                              They need to be fined $500M or more.

                                Apple is corporate criminal

                                  SShock, 14 Oct 2022You know what's more lame, people blaming Apple for th... moreYou got to start somewhere, here in Brazil Samsung sells more phones than Apple for sure but the midrange and entry level phones that come with a charger already, so maybe, I guess, that's the reason that Apple will be fined here and not Samsung. But both of them deserves to be fined.

                                  I remember in the early days of this no-charger-bullshit that the companies needed to provide a charger if someone bought a charger-less phone here in Brazil, but I don't know if this still a thing.

                                    $20 million is nothing to apple its why apple doesnt care cuz its literally millions they asking. While apple actually is worth 2.6 trillion or maybe now 3 trillion. So yea. If yall dont know this is what 3 trillion is.



                                    100-999 = hundreds

                                    1,000-999,999 = thousands

                                    1,000,000-999,999,999 = millions

                                    1,000,000,000-999,999,999,999 = billions

                                    1,000,000,000,000-999,999,999,999,999 = trillions

                                    Example sony = billions and microsoft = trillions

                                      In that regard there is only one company that's different from all others that's sony. But people always consider their phones to be overpriced for very illogical reasons

Like, when Samsung removed charger too, everyone blamed Apple. Why? Blame Samsung for being a copying sheep.
