Since the birth of the iPhone 11, Apple has released it to the outside world and bought a mobile phone without a charging head. Therefore, starting from the iPhone 12, Apple's mobile phone will no longer send a charging head. Major domestic mobile phone brands have followed suit after seeing it, causing strong dissatisfaction among consumers!
Recently, some netizens posted on the people's network leadership message board: "Some mobile phone manufacturers cancel the charger when selling mobile phones in the name of environmental protection, is it possible that consumers do not charge mobile phones after canceling the charger?
Can only rely on love to recharge? Selling only one mobile phone device not only increases the purchase cost of consumers; but also wastes the time and energy of consumers to buy mobile phones (they all want to buy a mobile phone with a charger in one step); and finally increase consumers' bad feelings about the concept of environmental protection. Some original chargers can sell for hundreds of dollars on the Internet, hoping that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can protect the legitimate rights and interests of our consumers, thank you. ”
As early as May this year, five female students from Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Donghua University teamed up to sue Apple in court, requesting Apple to deliver the mobile phone charger and bear the liability for breach of contract, pay a liquidated damages of 100 yuan and bear the litigation costs. The case was heard in the first instance in September this year, and in court, the plaintiff and the defendant conducted the stage of presenting and cross-examining evidence, and at present, the case is still in the stage of supplementing evidence and written materials.
Some netizens said "Well done! "An iPhone 12 mobile phone user told China News Network that when he first heard that buying a mobile phone without a charger, he felt very unreasonable." I bought a mobile phone, and I actually had to spend hundreds more to buy a charging head! From the comments of netizens, it can also be seen that many people have deep resentment about the behavior of buying mobile phones without chargers.
In fact, this isn't the first time Apple has been sued for charging the charger. In 2020, after Apple canceled the power adapter and headphones included with the iPhone 12 series products on the grounds of "environmental protection role" and "everyone already has ready-made accessories", in January 2021, "Apple did not send chargers to court" rushed to the hot search. According to the official Weibo message of the enterprise investigation, Mr. Yang, a consumer in Xi'an, raised substantive doubts to Apple and sued Apple in court on the situation that the new mobile phone accessories did not contain chargers.
But even in the face of these dissatisfactions, complaints, Apple still under the guise of environmental protection, continue to cut leeks!
Even some domestic mobile phone brands have followed suit after seeing Manulife. Apple's announcement is the latest move to make it a greener company after making a major commitment to curb greenhouse gas emissions in July. However, buying a charger or headset separately can mean more packaging waste and emissions from separate deliveries. Where is the environmental protection? This doesn't necessarily help reduce overall emissions, it just shifts them on to different companies.
In the face of the above netizens' messages on the people's network, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology replied:
On the issue of mobile phone and power failure sales, manufacturers on the basis of protecting consumers' right to know and the right to choose independently, formulate their own marketing strategies, and clearly inform consumers of products and additional materials when promoting sales, product packaging and lists, and consumers choose whether to buy or not. Some manufacturers have not broken the current intuition of consumers with consumer preferences, and so on, such as Apple, Samsung, but also have not abandoned. Versions, children and children's two versions, such as Xiaomi, are in line with the principle of health autonomy, according to the problem does not involve personal health and consumer health and safety, etc., individual needs of large differences in the industry may need further research.
In the next step, we will promote enterprises to modify marketing strategies, promote consumer health, improve the relationship between consumers' actual consumer needs and business interests, encourage marketing strategies that support consumer choices, and protect users' right to know and make independent choices. At the same time, guide the consumer to correct the problem.
Summary: Even though Apple and other manufacturers cut leeks, many consumers are also happy to buy! What do you think about this, welcome to like the message!
