Do you have a source for that? All the Brazilian articles that I could find, even the official government publication[1], only mention carregador ("charger", the thing that plugs into the wall), and "missing components necessary to use the product". There's no mention of USB-C or cable incompatibility anywhere.
As to why only Apple (and not, say, most wireless earbuds), I'd guess that it's because of their visibility and obscene prices in Brasil. Due to its weak currency and self-imposed import taxes, Brazilians pay over 6 months of minimum wage for the lowest spec iPhone 14.

- speeder 4y agoThe judge wrote that in his most recent decision that was discussed here on HN. I would appreciate if someone found the link for the most recent discussion before this one where this was pointed out.
- marcosdumay 4y agoAFAIK, only Apple does that. Most wireless earbuds come with cables that plug into the USB power supplies that people actually have.
