In addition, in Sao Paulo noted that the product announced in advertising does not correspond to real characteristics. We are talking about a roller, where the iPhone 11 Pro smartphone put under a stream of water and declare that it is able to withstand immersion to a depth of four meters for 30 seconds. The Procon-SP stressed that Apple’s warranty does not apply to breakage after immersion of the phone into water.
Requirement for free to provide Chargers Brazilian Extnadzor presented Corporations on December 2. The department considered the inconclusive argument of the company that when charging is delivered, the volume of carbon emissions and debris, as well as consumption of resources and valuable materials, is reduced.
The regulator asked Apple to provide evidence of such a positive effect. Procon-SP also indicated that the company does not provide warranty repair services to customers using a non-original charger, and does not report the safety of the use of its own devices of previous generations.
