I don’t think this is a good idea. iPhone is too expensive and now without earphones. Useless to buy these phones rather i will buy a bike
And will purchase a low cost phone
That’s why mi is in top as they cost much cheaper and have all quality.

We did see the same happening to Nintendo products. It makes the entry price feel pretty nice at first. But coming from a place where Apple, android, Tizenm, microsoft etc. exists in one household: it feels weird that apple is doing it.
1.We don't own any and if, not many apple products. Since apple still uses different charging types - new customers have to buy a seperate chargers when buying into new but even used apple products since sellers will keep their chargers.
2.New phones usually have new charging speeds, you sell the old charger with the old phone (at least I do) so I end up having 1 charger with the adequate speed charge option for my new phone. Does Apple cap charging speeds or will they up their speed aswell. If so: you will have to buy new chargers anyway.
3. at least all of my devices: tablet, phones, Laptop, Bike-Lights, Easphones, though by many different manufacturers, share the same USB type: USB.C. I can cross charge them easily, though not as fast sometimes. It makes sense to not have a charger included if you use the same charging type - apple does not.
4. we all know it's just a weak promotion. The iPhone mini, which competes with the Pixel 5, OP Nord, LG Velvet is sold at 780€ now + 25€ for a charger. That's hillarious 805€. People tend to buy things at 799€ over stuff that's priced 801€ at least over here in Germany. I think many will be fooled thinking the phone is "just" 700-something € while it is actually 800€ and with that 300-400€more expensive than android competition. (the A15 was tested pretty weak in benchmarks btw, so dont come telling me the 765G is soooo much weaker and therefore makes the 200€ difference)

Hopefully they will continue shipping a battery in the box for some.more time and will not discontinue that for "environmental" reasons :)

i can understand as a cost saving measure all round that chargers these days do not need to be packaged with budget to midrange phones. But when your paying excess off £$500 for a premium device id expect the charger to be with it. especially if the phone is capable of fast charging it should have the capable charger to go with it. There could also be savings to be had with contract phones Vs retail bought phones. A retail bought premium phone should always come with a charger. Where as a contract phone could come with or without depending on your needs of one.

If you spend 1000 dollars on a phone you actually don't need a phone in the box.

I had a quick look around at home, and I found 4 Apple 5W chargers and 5 sets of earpods. One set is old enough that it has a 3.5mm jack. There's also a handful of Samsung and Pixel chargers lying about.
I really doubt anyone doesn't have a spare charger somewhere.

The thing is nearly all old chargers are USB A, the cable they included is lightning to USB C, suddenly tadaa u can buy a USB c charger on their website when its not included in the box. You are hilarious
