Tied sales are about requiring you to buy another of your products only, no? Like if I buy a remote control without batteries included, that's not a tied sale. Is it a tied sale because to get the full fast speed charging it has to be Apple or Apple-licensed in some way because they don't fully support PD?

EDIT: > But the judge rejected the argument, saying the cable didn't work with wall adapters lacking a USB-C port, with which the Apple charger was designed.

I really don't follow this reasoning. It sounds more like Apple is having some political trouble in Brazil and this is the evolution of it.
