Imagined buying a game console without gamepad and TV without controller... Whether there is an option to request or not, it's ridiculous... Aren't that an essential part of the device?

But people continuing to bark at Apple and blaming them for bad anti-consumer decisions done by other brands is just absurd and laughable. Go and complain at Xiaomi, not Apple. Apple has absolutely NOTHING to do with Xiaomi.

What a bad decision to copy Apple. I can live without earfones but should have included a 22W charger. Greed have set into this company at expense of customer satisfaction

And yeah, Apple and some other companies has enough influence to change the rules of the game, but unfortunately - and as most companies in the world - they change it based on how much profit they can have. Nothing new under the Sun.
If brands really wanted to come up with an ecological solution that makes sense, they would invest in programs that recyle old phones and accessories in exange for a new one at a discounted price, they would invest in technology to reduce the use of plastic in their phones, factories running using clean energy and stuff like that. Everything these brands did so far to "help make less electronic trash" was just bollocks.

Apple did it first, for profit reasons only. And they charge minimum 50EUR for the charger. I needed to buy a 20W Apple charger from my own money, after I already paid a hefty amount of money for an overpriced iPhone.
Apple is worse than Xiaomi. If Apple was really only doing it for the environment, they should have given the 20W Apple charger for free (to people requesting it, maybe people who didn't had a charger already at their disposal). Lol, but when did Apple in their whole history ever done anything like that? I mean, take from their own pockets and give to the Apple costumers.
Apple is the c*ncer of this World. Because they have the power to shift the market, but they are doing that only for their own advantage and profit.

At this point, removing a charger won't make a huge difference when they release 4974438 phones per year

If it is really about the environment every customer should get a free charger if they request it. It’s actually being done just to maximise profit and minimise box shipping size.

Xiaomi once mocked Apple with tons of ads about "rotten apples" and provocating stuff like that because of charger in the box and now, they are doing the same. One of the reasons I don't recomend certain brands of phones is because they took almost all accessories without droping the price and kinda forcing the user to buy them all separately.
I hope other brands keep with the complete (or most complete possible) package for their phones and tablets, so they can get more sales and credibility in the market.

Anonymous, 26 Aug 2022Cringe. How deep rooted is your hatred for Apple? Did they ... moreyet you're pretty much using stuff they were involved in creating or popularizing, so please just stop.
Yes man i am using a phone where i had to buy charger becasue stupid manufacturer followed this trend.
My phone got notch and also is lack of jack and SD slot
Yes apple involved and popularized these trends which everybody follows.
Everytime I see you comment on a thread, it's Apple this Apple that. Funny to think that Apple literally lives rent-free in your head for some reason.
And no man. I dont hate because i must just for valid reasons like creating bad trends and with bad behavior which everybody follows. Like no charger in box, no sd sot, no removable batteries, no jack, and notch.
Next what no cable??? Only paid services, much more advertising everywhere even on a first time setup???
Again i dont hate because i dont have anything better to do. I hate for very valid reasons i just told you and other companies follow for no reason.
If you like those said trends its your choice butr please exclude 90% of the global polpulation which represents android users.
Thank you.

if you care about environment, at least give an option to buy the charge for free if you need it.

GSMArena should do a full a-z research on, how much does it costs and/or save; carbon emissions, paper and plastic use and earth materials, etc., compared to shipping the charge in box. Please GSMArena, cause these greedy companies definitely will not do it. And show it them to their faces, you know, like there was a research on Bitcoin.
