The excuse of reduction in e-waste is disingenuous in light of the fact that previous chargers won't work with the cable included with iPhone 12. Not sure I'd describe that as transparency.

The cable that was included with previous chargers will however still work. As for why even include a cable then, perhaps that's to connect to any of Apple's current computers, all of which have USB-C (and laptops have no USB-A)

  I did not use included charger with my last three or four iPhones. Having unwrapped charger in the box added nicely to the resell value too.

  I believe at least 80% of iPhone users never connect to Mac or PC with Type-C. So it should be also e-waste.

I think you basically have to buy the phone, a charger, a case (since those change too) and probably earbuds.

  To be fair, the phone functions perfectly fine without a case or earbuds.
