So does this apply to AirPods as well? Because those aren't sold with a charger either, never have been.
My Apple Watch didn't either -- it comes with a charging puck that attached to a cable, but it doesn't come with a charger. Neither did my Magic Trackpad. Or Magic Keyboard.
Not including a charger is becoming more and more standard. I'm curious if Brazil is applying this law equally to all products that charge over USB, or if it's just selectively targeting flagship devices like iPhones?
The law applies to every product. There is a decision to make over the charging medium details, but the one against iPhones apply to anything that charges over USB-C.
For other USB substandards, other rules may apply. The rules for USB-C also may change as the market matures.
It applies. but I'm not sure if anyone is suing Apple over those or just the iPhones. Samsung was also fined earlier this year for the same reason.
But keep in mind that this is not "Brazil" targeting, someone needs to sue Apple in the court for this (the judge ruling and fine) to be applied.
In this case it was a consumer association, that is getting some 10MM BRL (2MM USD) out of this (so this is probably the association interest, not consumer fairness), but it is in Apple best interest to respect the law and avoid professional litigators to go after them.
