EU is weird sometimes. They care so much about environment and user experience through longevity, but they don't mind everyone removing ALL the accessories while still charging the same for the device. Imagine buying an EV car and then being required to buy charge cable separately. That's where we are with smartphones. Or should we be afraid for similar future with EV's ? It's ridiculous. Phone should come with a charger. Period. It's essential part of the device without which, it cannot operate. This especially goes true for all the Chinese brands bragging about 500000000 W charging speeds and now already bragging how they'll remove the charger. How does this not offend EU? I don't get it.
