I don't understand this if someone's buying new phone and they don't provide earphones or charger that person is eventually gonna buy those separately so how is this eco friendly I hope Apple comes with some good explanation with it coz it's just feels tricks and gimmicks been played with customers and if they wanted eco-friendly then they would have packed the charger and earphones within the box rathar than making extra boxes for chargers and earphones

      I support the decision if only they cut the device price. But most likely they won't, even will increase instead...

          what the hell?
          Sell the chargers separately for "Eco friendly" reasons ?
          STFU.
          I often see "Eco friendly" is just a technique for gaining more profit in most company and advertising purpose. But they didnt stop the chemical waste from their factory.

            A lot of iPhone users also owns iPad and iPad have had faster charger since, well from the first iPad? Lot of people have different kind of chargers already.

                You get your iphone for christmass, open the box and way two weeks until you can buy a charger :-D.

                2022:
                "Hello, i think i have a faulty phone, i bought this phone yesterday over here and when i try to turn it on, nothing happens"
                "Well, you have to also buy a battery and display sir, it doesnt work without one."

                  You can use the old charger. So if you want to sell your old phone you need to sell it without a charger?
                  Bye resale value. This solves nothing except filli g their own pockets. Tsash company will include one trash less in the box, that's what that 5w charging brick is.
                  Selling a phone with a DONGLE only while others include in ear headphones, free cases, type c adapters, styluses or even 40w shargers included in the box.
                  As long as there are enough sheeps there will be plenty of milk.

                            Funny - I brought a charger and the box did contain the phone. Thats ridiculous. What next? They will remove pins and sell them separately in excuse of environmental mining.

For people who research before the purchase this is a disaster.
