I though it was the funniest thing that they pulled the charger stunt literally ome year after switching to usb-c bricks and usb-c to lightning cables in the box. So litrrally everyone upgrading from an older iphone would have to buy a new brick and damage the environment even more.

The charger being removed is just a way for apple to maintain their profuts without increasing the phone's price. Considerimg that the 1000 dollar price tag has been a thing for nearly 6 years now, I guess It's somewhat understandable.

Playing devil’s advocate here but it isn’t like you get a new charger ever time you get a new phone.

You do get a new cable with each phone, so what exactly are you complaining about?

Bought an iPhone for my mom who lives in a third world country. I didn’t know it didn’t come with a charger and didn’t realize they changed to usb C ports.

Quality usb C chargers in a third world country are over $50 usd when shipped and cleared. Everything else available were cheap Chinese knockoffs. Ultimately this meant it took over a month before she could use the new phone.

I mean not everyone get a new phone every year and I don't think Apple chargers are in a usable condition after 2 or 2.5 years of everyday usage

I’ve been using the same charger for 6 years now. Little scratches, perfectly functional.

My last iphone was a 6s and its brand new charger did only survive for 1.5 years so I was speaking from my experience
