Apple ordered to sell iPhones with chargers in Brazil.

Apple continues to suffer legal setbacks in Brazil over its decision to sell iPhones without chargers. On Thursday, a Brazilian court fined Apple 100 million reais (about $19 million) and ruled that it must provide chargers with new iPhones sold in the country.

Apple, unsurprisingly, will appeal the decision.
