A lot will criticize Apple for doing this claiming they are cutting cost (which they are) but I keep finding earbuds and chargers from many of my old devices as I pack my house for moving. I am sure a lot of these accessories end up in the garbage without being used a single time.
- powerapple 6y agoThe charging cable does not really last very long. I need 3/4 charging cables in different places. I actually bought a few third party charging cables/charging pad as well.
- Austin_Conlon 6y agoThey're also passing the cost down to customers.
- chrisjc 6y agoWasn't it always passed down?
- grawprog 6y agoOn the flip side, I had a pair of earbuds break on me a few months back, after some digging around the house I ended up finding the pair that came with an old Samsung flip phone still in working condition after like 14 or 15 years. Been using them the last few months, i'm actually pretty impressed with the quality. They're a lot sturdier and better sounding than any earbuds that came with more recent phones.
- bydo 6y agoThey are definitely cutting costs, though, in storage and shipping. Which is fine. Amazon doesn't even ship a cable with the Kindle, which is much more annoying as my Paperwhite has been the last micro USB device I've owned for several years.
