Why Apple may have to go the France and Brazil way in Taiwan

A consumer protection group in Taiwan has called for an investigation into Apple’s decision to sell iPhones without chargers.

The Consumers’ Foundation has accused Apple of exploiting consumers with the lack of chargers, reports AppleInsider.

According to the group, although Apple’s environmental motivation was not invalid, the move also infringed on consumer rights since chargers are “essential” to operating a phone, the report added.

“If a phone manufacturer produces a phone but does not include a charger or charging cable, even if consumers purchase a fully functional and well performing high-end smartphone, of course they would not be able to turn on and use the phone normally,” the group said
