AnonD-972548, 26 Dec 2020In the end all companies will follow this trend. Exactly ho... moreYo are too harsh with these companies. USB c is a universal port. An additional audio jack is unneeded, usb c adapters are extremely cheap and many allow to both charge and listen to music at the same time. Just have them continuously attacked to your head piece and voila! A fake problem.
Same with chargers. Companies have long abandoned giving the maximum recommended charger, instead they would most often give smaller bricks , one of which everybody owns (at least once)..
Real problem was and remains the sealing of the batteries. Lithium are *extremely* fragile and the heavy use we do to our phones deteriorate them at the fastest rate ever. They knew that, that is why they sealed them. So that to give us an extra reason to upgrade often.
IP68 can happen with replaceable batteries. Samsung did it on S5... yet nobody talked then. *That* was (and remains) the only travesty by phone companies, but nobody talks. Everybody is talking for a very small problem like having to buy a $5 adapter. Who cares.
Your phone gets unusable (for heavy use) by the second year of ownership yet nobody talks. That is some opposite day stuff going on...

Wanted to buy this. But no more think about MI. MI only copy the things. I will move from MI to others. Environment protect through chargers. What a joke.

I had Mi4i in 2014 I told Mi will be the best brand in upcoming years. Now with this message I would say that is no longer valid. I know in the end everybody will do the same so we will get used to pay for charger separately like how we pay for headset. Nokia always provided headset along with phone. I may rather decide not to use mobile phones rather than buying charger separately.

CommonSense, 27 Dec 2020When Apple "introduced" notch or camera Bump ever... moreAbout notch or the removal of headphone jack, to be frank, Apple was not the first, Android was first, but nobody bat an eye. When Apple did that, every other manufacturers went crazy and followed like a blind sheep.
But, I agree with you, the removal of charger with the reason of "environment" is totally bullshit. The most bullshit thing I've ever heard.
If they truly care about the environment, they should make their phone easier to repair, easier the get our hand on spare parts, provides longer software and security support.
With that, a phone can easily last more than 5 years. And that will much more "environmental friendly" since there will be much less electronic waste.
They removed the charger, ok, then make the old charger still compatible then.
But no, they add new features, they change the cable, no now, if we want to use our phone to the fullest, we have to buy new charger. So what the point?
It's all about the money.

So if someone doesn't have idle mobile chargers lying around, is Xiaomi going to provide one free of charge?

If apple decided to sell us empty boxes tomorrow, Samsung will be the first to tow the line then chinese brands would follow blindly. Seems like there is no more innovation in the smartphone industry and they are just using trends and false marketing to fleece consumers.

I guess the loss of fame to be a copycat is not so important than making it cheaper.

This is what happen when apple haters use 'no headphone jack' 'no power adapter' to mock apple or (you know, whatever that they think they can use to talk trash on Apple)
This is what you all get, remember APPLE is the Leader in the industry.
