Not just apple but several other companies have done the same. But yeah, apple started this whole environmental BS to increase their profits
"Saving the planet" was just an excuse

The fact that Apple ditched headphone jack or charger, again, it's only one company and haven't seen that until next one or two years later. Every other company taking these tactics are at 100% fault as well.
Good that your phone is charging with that charger, I guess I wasn't as lucky.

Anonymous, 14 Oct 2022This isn't a thing because i use xiaomi charger on my ... moreI have one motorola 20W charger, one huawei 45W charger, two samsung 15W chargers (from s6-s8 era). It worked only on these two samsung chargers, and with the originals' cables, OR with a micro usb + type C adapter cable. (The irony)
It might be a software thing, but still sucks, how could my 5 year old s8 still accept a 5W charger or anything from above and not display this message???

I don't like it.
People know what's inside the box.
They can check online , they can read the box. They still buy it. By their own choice.
These kind of people should be the one , charged with fine.
Who complain after buying.
Govt should not decide what a company should sell.
Why don't They charge fine for selling charges (without phone).

Every country should sue them for using environmental issues as an excuse to con people.
Its like buying a car with no wheels. WE are a joke as a society for accepting this.

ALPHABOY17, 14 Oct 2022No one mentions that on samsung phones you absolutely NEED ... moreNo, it does not. I have the exact same phone and I use a Baseus 30W charger since 7 months ago. Fast charges my Samsung S21 FE with no problem (around 60 minutes to full charge; exactly the same like the 25W Samsung charger). Also, I tried the same Baseus charger on some iPhones and on other Samsung phones (including cheaper models). No error message and no problem to fast charge the phones.
You got a faulty phone or a faulty charger.
Samsung does not mandatory require the usage of Samsung chargers. Is the same like Apple. They sell Samsung chargers (if you want to use those), but any PD charger will fast charge a Samsung phone (any Samsung phone).
Only Chinese companies use propriety charging. And even those have recently started to move away from this practice. If I am not mistaken, Xiaomi recent phones fast charge also with third party chargers, if you have those around.
So stop trying to move attention to something else and say that all companies are bad. The worse company is Apple, because they started it all. Not to mention, they still have the st*pid lightning port in 2022, that nobody else has and use.

Rosso, 14 Oct 2022No it's not a thing, my mother's A12 has no probl... moreYeah because the a12 maxes out at like what, 10-15w? So basically every flagship phone charger since 2013. If your phone accepts 30w or more you'll need a new charger (unless you've been with companies like Huawei, xiaomi, oppo/Oneplus etc thag supply the proper wattage chargers for their phones). Plus the new standards in chargers/phones and chargers using type C ports means to get the most out of your charger you need to buy the right one which all apple, Sony, Samsung and Google are doing is charging you more for the phone (you're losing what, £50-100 of accessories) and putting environmental damage on the consumer by having to have more cardboard or plastic boxes to throw away.
Thank you Brazil, keep it up and keep fining them more and more, get other countries involved and hopefully these companies will redesign their box to fit chargers and start supply GaT chargers for efficiency and size which is actually a far more environmentally friendly change. (considering they all sell the most expensive phones/ear buds/headphones/slow chargers)
