I should be able to sell my stuff right? As long as you know what you're buying and there are no surprises.

No you can't sell stuff that doesn't work in most countries lol.

There are regulations so people can't sell broken shit.

I'm literally a consumer protection lawyer.

This is not the one thing people take issue with there's thousands of regulations in any given country to protect you mf.

Apple knew ahead of time cause they pay 100s of Millions in legal fees for every country and they just decided they don't care.

One would argue that an average person would expect an electronic product like a cell phone to come with everything it needs to be operated normally. If it doesn't come with a charger, you cannot operate it normally.

It should come with a fucking charger or at least give you an option to opt out if you already have one.

And one could argue that unless it has a big old DOES NOT COME WITH A CHARGER on the box or whoever is selling you the phone tells you that it doesn't come with a charger it might very well be a surprise that an electronic device that needs to be charged doesn't come with a way to charge it in the box like just about every other piece of consumer electronics out there.

You're basically arguing against consumer protections here, which is always very cool.

Lets say I say I will sell you a car.

You buy it from me, pay me, and then once receive the car you realize it comes with no engine. Then I try to sell you the engine for more money.

I can totally see you suing me (and winning) unless I explicitly stated its an incomplete car and requires you to also purchase your own engine (or already have one).

This is a good example and i agree with you here bc you can't trick or surprise people. But when you can see what's in the box and there is ko trick or surprise here then i have no problem with it

So here, what I think would be surprising for most people is to buy a phone and have it not come with a charger.
