The Sao Paolo court found Apple guilty in a lawsuit filed by a Brazilian consumer association. According to the judges, Apple would be committing one ‘abusive practice’ by selling iPhones without chargers.

In fact, the judges write in the sentence that: “it is evident that, under the justification of a green initiative, the defendants require consumers to make a required purchase of a charging adapter that they previously supplied with the product “.
