Apple takes it out, Samsung puts it back in
Samsung has followed in the footsteps of Apple, which started taking chargers out of the box in 2020 with the launch of the iPhone 12.
The iPhone maker cites environmental issues and the reduction of electronic waste as reasons for the measure.
The Galaxy S21 arrived in Brazil without the accessory in the package, but with a free pre-order charger.
The South Korean manufacturer, however, retreated. According to the company, since August 2022, with the announcement of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4, all models launched in Brazil have the accessory included in the package.
That goes for newcomers to the market like the Galaxy S23 family, the Galaxy A54 and the Galaxy A34.
Apple, on the other hand, maintains the policy of selling the plug adapter separately — iPhones only come with a Lightning cable. This has already brought problems with the Justice, including the suspension of sales and a fine of R$ 100 million.
