A Brazilian court has fined Apple Inc $19 million for selling iPhones without a charger. The court ruled that battery chargers must come with new iPhones sold in the country. Apple said that it will appeal the decision.
The Sao Paulo state court ruled against Apple in a lawsuit that was filed by the association of borrowers, consumers and taxpayers. The lawsuit claimed that the company follows abusive practices by selling its flagship product without a charger.

Apple on its part argued that the practice had the purpose of reducing carbon emissions. “It is evident that, under the justification of a ‘green initiative,’ the defendant imposes on the consumer a required purchase of charger adaptors that were previously supplied along with the product,” said the court in its ruling.
