Soon you can buy a new iPhone, but you need to order the accessories and the actual phone separately. It’s absurd to be honest. If you want to do good for the environment, only buy a phone when the old one is broken.

Wrapping consumerism in sustainability and talking about the greater good when they only thing about their wallets. The gesture is nice, yes, and you can go green, yes, but not at the expense of the people who'll buy those same things you didn't provide to begin with. Merry go round.

People should buy this phone only if they can really afford it with higher storage and accessories
But Apple products are overhyped and many ppl who can't afford it buy and how do they use it?
What's the point of this phone if A71 can do slightly worse

Fearghast, 14 Oct 2020Samsung is certainly NOT including faster than QC 2.0 charg... moreI forgot that they aren't included faster chargers, but the fact they are doing this means it's incredibly cheap and simple to keep doing it and allow people who need faster charging to upgrade.
Personally I have a Note 10+ and it charges really quite quickly with the bundled 25W brick. But, it's unfortunate that Samsung have downgraded their flagships back to 25W.
Then you have to look at the fact that Samsung in particular are bringing faster charging to cheaper devices. This not only means the same chargers are going to be increasingly used but also lower income countries who purchase these devices will need a charger bundled due to cost.
So Samsung will be making plenty and have an excess to spare. It wouldn't be smart for them to stop now as charging speeds will only keep increasing as competitors go crazy (60/65W and 120W for example).

AnonD-832645, 14 Oct 2020Tim cook save nothin, he want more money from apple fans. Hahaso you think Steve Jobs was different? He was the one who made the company Apple as it is. Even he was against open source because that would give the consumers much control over what they could do. Steve Jobs was just another Thomas Edison. Tim Cook is just maintaining his legacy.

travstr, 14 Oct 2020I honestly don't think they will because Samsung alway... moreSamsung is certainly NOT including faster than QC 2.0 chargers in the box for most of theirs devices.
For example, they only include slower chargers with Samsung Tab S7 and S7 Plus - they can't even hold a charge when the device is in the load.
So not including useless 15/18W charger -> cheaper device and option to buy universal 45W (or something) USB charger sounds much better, because unless you are Apple user and own theirs OG 5W charger, there is not really a point of needing more slow chargers in your household.

As a recent example, the headphone jack. As iPhone 7 sales didn't take a nosedive, Android makers followed suit and they removed the jack too. Even LG removed it on their Wing model, which was one of the longest holdouts.

Apple has gone mad. Having included a charger is a must for rechargeable device like phones. I really hope consumers start to realize how bad a greedy company like them can still get away like this.
