what you might not notice is that we all have the freakin chargers, too many of them! even if you take just your malfunctioning device, by itself, to the store for repair, they give you a whole new phone with another set of headphones and chargers maaaaybe there is a point about “and they raised the price anyway!” Yes, Apple has large margins, yes, new consumer goods cost more than they previously did. It is weird to reserve this argument for Apple or smartphones. I would pay more than +$30 for a Lidar sensor Thanks

I'm not responding with the parent in mind because it's already flagged at the time of writing this comment, but I really wanted to know if >we all have the freakin chargers is a correct assumption. Apple are recommending a 20W brick with a USB-C slot in it for the 12 series. No OEM I know has shipped such a charger with their phones. Apple themselves haven't either. The iPhone 11 Pro came the closest with an 18W USB C brick, but the others used USB A too as far as I know. It's not to say that it won't charge on a 5/10/15/18W brick, but I believe the consensus is that the rating certified by the OEM and preferably the hardware certified by them should be used unless it's unavoidable. Would love to hear some facts on this.
