Why should i buy them, they were free for years now they are problem & in return none of the companies reduced the price of the phone even a little bit, fuck these companies

I though it was the funniest thing that they pulled the charger stunt literally ome year after switching to usb-c bricks and usb-c to lightning cables in the box. So litrrally everyone upgrading from an older iphone would have to buy a new brick and damage the environment even more.
The charger being removed is just a way for apple to maintain their profuts without increasing the phone's price. Considerimg that the 1000 dollar price tag has been a thing for nearly 6 years now, I guess It's somewhat understandable.

Playing devil’s advocate here but it isn’t like you get a new charger ever time you get a new phone.

Bought an iPhone for my mom who lives in a third world country. I didn’t know it didn’t come with a charger and didn’t realize they changed to usb C ports.
Quality usb C chargers in a third world country are over $50 usd when shipped and cleared. Everything else available were cheap Chinese knockoffs. Ultimately this meant it took over a month before she could use the new phone.

I mean not everyone get a new phone every year and I don't think Apple chargers are in a usable condition after 2 or 2.5 years of everyday usage

They should just put in vouchers in the box so that you can get one for free if you need one.
Not putting in one in every box is absolutely the right thing tho. So much e waste

Voucher could instead be just a code on the back of the paperwork that you can use to get one.
Would be nice if it was a one of those Anker GaN style chargers though.

In that case, just put the charger in the box. You know that most consumers will claim their free charger even if they don’t need it, just because it’s “free”.

I reckon many wouldn’t. Who wants to have dozens of unused chargers at home. The EU is even drafting a law that is banning that iirc

Either put the charger and earphone in the box or reduce the price of the devices by a good margin. That is the only solution

who would want wired headphones, most people already have a charger to

So you want Apple to give you cheap stuff so you can loose or break it, yeah that’s seems very sensible. /s

All those fancy AirPods and wireless bluetooth earphones are so expensive and they get lost or break easily and on top of that they don’t last that long, you cannot replace the batteries on them, compared to a wired earphone which do not need charging and can last a really long time, i get it why apple had to remove the 3.5 mm jack, and apple was giving them earphones for years now they have become e hazard suddenly, seriously why do people defend this i don’t understand
