Sure Apple are assholes but this is just a joke.

We have been screaming for years that we need standard chargers so we don't need to buy a new with every single device and reduce e-waste And now Apple actually does something good to try and change ge this they get fined for it?

Fucking stupid if you ask me

E-waste?

What do you call Apple refusing to adapt USB C on their iPhones when everything else they fucking sell has USB C port to charge?

Answer: Apple believes themselves to be gods & people like you are blind by bullshit.

If apple cared about e-waste they would not make new products every year that have little difference from their predecessor.

don’t get fooled by them outwardly stating they are “doing good”. if they really were in it for doing good they would have switched to usbc, no they are doing it for profits while pretending to save the environment.

Agreed. They should ha e change to usb-c awesome ago. I was only referring the double standard of both complaining about including a charger and not including a charger

I don't think anyone is fooled by Apple's game. This is simply Brazil calling them out on their BS

I wonder if they also fine sex toy companies that don’t include chargers.

Ironically most rechargable ones actually use universal Micro-USB chargers (which most have literally in a drawer somewhere or "the cord box"), unlike Apple and a few others with their unique ports compared to most devices. A vast majority of those do come with a charger for convenience, albeit a cheap one given not many toy companies roll in cash.

Most just use batteries (AA or AAA, most common in households), so I think only a select few toys would ever fall under that law as a violation.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

Well. Apple actually supplies a cable with their phones. Those cables plug into standard charging bricks. The newer ones actually come with usbc ends.

I could understand that people are upset when apple wouldnt supply a cable with their phones as thats the unique part.

It talked about chargers not being included. The cables are supplied. And Brazil talking about saving the planet while burning the Amazon, jeesh.

By "unique," I meant more the actual input end of the cord. Pretty much all chargers end with USB-C, but majority of devices had a micro USB for the actual device power input. Apple has a unique one that only works with Apple devices, don't think I've ever seen anything else use their type
