Good to know — there’s been so much confusion about this lately.

Sell a computer with a charger: 2399
Or
Sell a charger as an option for: 399
Sell a computer without a charger for: 2399
The Apple way 😂

>it does *not* ban companies from supplying a charger at no additional cost. It merely says consumers must be offered the choice.
So if companies do not* want to make their logistics more complex (by doubling the number of versions of sold products), they can’t include the charger.

Apple sucks and honestly, most tech companies suck nowadays none give a shit about the consumer none care about giving their customers quality items.
All they care about is how we can get them to buy our product and put them on a subscription.

Ban Apple altogether. Selling people overpriced products made by Chinese slave labor.

Me, as a EU customer, am happy with this. Especially for the lighter appliances. Any shop that sells MacBooks will also sell the charger. Don’t whine.

The problem with throwing it in free of charge, is that most consumers will say yes, even if they already have 3 perfectly fine chargers.. and then the whole idea of reducing ewaste is lost. So I am with Apple here that they ask money for it.

My 3rd world home country requires by law that any electronic sold in the country must come with all parts required for it to work.
It’s ridiculous that companies are selling those things separately to increase profit and some people, even in this same thread, think it’s the most normal thing in the world. 🙄
