And that's in a country where the median income is around $4,000/year. Imagine in America saving up and paying $10,000 for a brand-new phone and they ask you to pay another $400 for the charger.

- samatman 4y agoWe both know that the median salary is irrelevant when considering Brazilian iPhone buyers. No one is spending two and a half years of scratch on just one phone. A 17 Million (! Dr. Evil flourish!) USD fine, standing next to the doubled price Brazil's government inflicts on its citizens, paints a pretty stark picture here. There's a problem. It isn't a phone charger problem or an Apple problem, but it's a real one. No pun intended.
