19M? Lol. That’s the equivalent of me having to pay someone $.01 over the next 50 years.

If that is used for the Brazilian taxpayer then id say its a win for Brazil

Brazil tax revenue was 33 Billion $USD, so I'm sure they will enjoy their 0.06% of additional funds.

I'm sure they will be happier if Bolsonaro loses the election.

thats up to the voters to decide. If he loses, then yes, by theory the majority will be happier.

Again, thats up to the voters to decide and not for non-Brazilians to come up with assumptions.

It will improve a bit when another judge fines them again for ignoring the court order.

sadly i think apple most likely pre-raised the price of their iphone in brazil to offset this. no idea why brazil didn’t just outwardly ban iphones

I don’t think its citizens would have appreciated that very much!

If you round it to the nearest billion it's approx $0 billion

The fine is calculated on past sales. If that value seems small it's because Apple doesn't sell many phones in Brazil, they are too expensive.
This doesn't mean Apple can pay that fine and keep selling phones without a charger, that would be contempt of court, a criminal case instead of the civil case it's now.
