Tigolebitties, 08 Mar 2022Apple's impactI don't know why everyone is blaming Apple for it. Their decision to remove charger was stupid. I just don't understand why people don't blame Samsung for following Apple like a cheap clone. Blame Samsung for being cheapskates and removing it as well because they damn well know it jacks up their profits significantly and they can brag how much they care about environment. But no, instead everyone blames Apple again, like they forced Samsung to copy them.

They should make their phones cheaper for the non included charger in the box, it's quite simple.
So many bad news about Samsung these weeks.

This is going to actually hurt them. Non techie people who go to shop and buy phones normally buy Samsung. If they even consider Chinese brands which have charger because of this, it's going to hurt them.

Anonymous, 08 Mar 2022Removing charger while making phones costlier and blaming c... moreAnd then advertise fast charging capabilities which 90% of people can't achieve with standard 5V 2,4A chargers meaning they absolutely need to buy the extra charger meaning it's all anything but ecological. The charger has its own extra packaging, takes more volume than if it was bundled, it required extra shipping line...
I also don't understand the whining about "e-waste". Every phone that I gave away or sold, I did so with all the accessories and often even original box. Because complete items sell easier for higher price. It never ended in a landfill, it's being used. And same for extra chargers I was left with. I use them at work or elsewhere at home. This charger removal scheme was best customer rip off with excuse of ecology in last 20 years.

Why include a cable? User might already have one or they can buy alongwith charger... Why include sim ejector, a common/paper pin can do the job. Save earth materials and less ewaste... Or companies can stop releasing dozens of models every few months.or jsut don't release any at all and save the earth...

They should ask customers if they want charger or not.
I hate apple for giving me a single type c to lightning cable when I have usb a charger at home.
Also who will take responsibility in case of failures arising due to non standard chargers. These companies will easily shift blame on using different charger than their own for any faults.
I hope these companies get sued and forced by courts to bundle a charger.

You don't do this Samsung. People who buy the S series won't mind spending a few more bucks for a charger but the A- series caters to the bulk and cream of your customer base. You don't spit in their faces when your competition bundles in fast chargers.
