  1. Bought a 13 pro, bought a usbc to lightning cable and fast charger. Old chargers that ended up as e waste was a waste. Glad they cut down on it

  2. When you are too crazy to indulge, they do whatever you follow and accept. Although what they do is downright stupid, on the grounds of environmental protection to sell phones and don't have chargers. Forcing users to use old chargers or buy genuine external chargers or floating is not safe.

  3. It could be that alot of people would buy their own Chargers. These days, we have these portable Chargers that are now convenient and on top
    Of that, most phones will now switch to USB-C ports.

  4. 1. Isn't Apple completely disregarding first time iPhone buyers?
    2. The separate purchase of charger and earphones will come with its own paper/plastic packaging. Will that have a smaller environmental impact as compared to shipping with the phone?
    3. How about extending the standard warranty to 2 or 3 years so that users keep their iPhone for a longer time, causing less e-waste?
    4. How about Apple offering to fix existing malfunctioning chargers so that those users don't have to buy new ones and help reduce e-waste?

  5. The power brick is the only one I can understand, if you go the “I already have one”. The cables always wear and break but the bricks don’t. However! This is making a giant assumption that your customers are all repeat and not new. They should make them optional when you order, at no additional cost, but they won’t

  6. Apple isn't stupid they know their customers are stupid will go and buy a charger this why they do stuff like this now Samsung see apple can get away with this crap so now they doing it

  7. Hey, fellow ultimate player and tech nerd here. Can you do a video on the best way to charge each of your devices? Specifically I've found conflicting info from my rersearch about the charging wattage for apple products effecting battery life. We all know that wireless chargin is slower and less efficient at this point, but I'm looking foir the ideal charge on my Macbook 2016, iphone 12 mini, Apple watch series 1 (oldschool), and airpods pro…

  8. why would anyone throw charger away, you also dont throw old phone away. you give it away or sell it and thats where charger goes also
    what a bs

  9. No!!!!!!! There are no EXTRA chargers sitting around in our homes. These companies know that it's not all of us that review phones and hence have tons of phones and phone chargers lying around right??? In countries (like Nigeria for example) we are already sharing the one charger because our siblings are careless enough to misplace or break theirs right? Then you want me to get a 1300 dollar phone and start chasing after my brother to lend me his charger (really my old one) to charge my fancy new phone??? Y'all are mad! Apple, Samsung stop this dirty play.

  10. So apt, you nailed it! Mobile companies are actually non eco-friendly and acting stupid without realising what actually the sustainability is.

  11. Just got a Iphone 12 pro max for my wife, didn’t know that the phone doesn’t come with the charger in the box, got a screen protector, case and thought I got the whole set already. When she opened it, everything looked fine until she said “the phone got no charger”, I was wtf??? That’s is impossible…, we got no clue about it because I got the Iphone 8+ and she got iphone X, so I got to back to the store to purchased the charger, can’t believe Apple done nasty thing like that, they’re not making enough money? the excuse is “reduce package waste…” but how can we use the phone without the charger? We still have to “buy” it. F*** them, they uses all kind of nasty tricks that they can think of to dig more money from the users event though we already paid too much for a damn f***king phone. Saw on the News that Taiwanese people are planning to sue them for that, hope it happens in U.S …. too.

  12. Because they changed the charging cable from USB-A to USB-C… they should have at least included a USB-C charger for 1 freaking generation (iPhone 12 series)!!!

  13. This is not their final form, next iOs update "using unauthorized apple charger makes your iPhone cannot be charged", so you need buy $ 99.90 5 watt apple official charger, while 25 watt fast charging brick cost $ 299.90, so you can't just use old iPhone charger or any USB charger from android phones to your iPhone.

    They just said some BS like "many iPhone exploded because user are using cheap charger hurr…… durr…. so we modified your iPhone SAFETY STANDARD by only accepting OFFICIAL / AUTHORIZED Apple Charger F O R Y O U R O W N S A F E T Y "

  14. but…(although I will NEVER be an apple person)
    what if I decided to buy the iPhone 12 as my first iPhone?
    I'd be sxrewed haha til I bought a charger lol

  15. I wonder if your opinion changed now since iphone 12 has been released, cable that included doesn't work with the old Apple charging brick

  16. I bought the S21 ultra was shocked BECAUSE no charging Brick I paid 1000 plus Dollers for this phone I can't now use fast charging on my phone I am broke now thanks Apple abd Samsung I am currently using a cheap type c cable with an old
    Oneplus 2 power brick my last phone it takes sooooooo long to charge and now I have to wait for 2 months untill I get the power brick from Amazon I regret the purchase I think I should switch the phone for the Samsung Galaxy A52 5g it has a FUCKING free power brick and is cheaper

  17. there should be a choice to get new charger and power block and the earphones for each one of them so for the people that need it but they should increase the price if u get 1,2,3 of the items.
