That&#x27;s not the only reason they were fined:<p>&quot;Parts of the fine are also for misleading advertising, bad customer support, and unfair terms of service. Procon-SP cites Apple’s refusal to repair some iPhone 11 Pros damaged by water, after advertising them as waterproof, as an example of all three.&quot;

I know this response happens every time a #BigTech company gets fined, but I feel like this is like even more ridiculously small?<p>Forget Apple, most multinational companies could absorb a 2 million dollar fine without even needing to bring it up to the CFO.<p>This quote just seems kinda silly with the amount<p>&gt;Apple needs to understand that in Brazil, there are solid consumer protection laws and institutions. It needs to respect these laws and these institutions.<p>Yeah Apple has really had the law laid on them with this massive fine.

I think this is silly. Sure, including the chargers was a &quot;sneaky&quot; way to basically raise the price, but they were fairly transparent with consumers what they were getting.

I mean the specifics aside if you fine them at least add two zeroes to that number because I&#x27;m pretty sure two million bucks is less than they saved on the chargers

Apple: Oh no! Anyway.
