Apple will have to give one of its customers $1,075 because it didn’t provide them with a charger when they purchased their smartphone.
An unnamed Apple customer in Brazil sued the company for not giving them a charger when they bought their iPhone 13.
According to PCMag, the case was settled by Judge Vanderlei Caires Pinheiro, in BRazil that the customer not receiving a charger went against article 39 of the Consumer Code, which states “tie sales” are allowed.
A tie sale involves a product being sold without another product that is needed to make the other operate.
The price of the phone starts at $1,630. The customer ended up being rewarded $5,000 Brazilian Real, which comes out to about $1,075.
There are no details about whether Apple plans to fight back against the ruling.
