Are there actually people who want to have a charger included?
I have about half a dozen of them already, what would I even do with another?
As long as there is a USB-A to phone connector cable in there what would you want with another charger? If you really need one, buy one seperately.
- fredoralive 4y agoMysteriously Apple choose to swap to a USB-C to Lightning as the pack in cable at the same time as they dropped a pack in charger. Strange timing that...
- soco 4y agoWith every new generation the charging power drawn increased so yes I might have a bunch of old chargers as backup but none of them can charge as fast as the newest.
- constantcrying 4y agoAnd phone companies include high quality chargers which allow their phones to charge as fast as possible? If anything I do not want chargers I get with devices because manufacturers cheap out on them and inevitably they are not very good.
- waboremo 4y agoWhat a ridiculous argument. Chargers from the same company that brings you the phone tend to be the highest quality due to rigorous testing. If first party chargers aren't very good then third party ones are unusuable. Remember news of all those "exploding" devices? You guessed it, third party chargers.

- Ekaros 4y agoI expect them to supply one which is suitable for purpose and cable that is good as well. But maybe I'm just weird.
- constantcrying 4y agoUsually they ship cheap ones, which charge relatively slow. They definitely work, but if you have bought any other device with a charger you likely already have one just as good. To be honest the worst cables I ever used where apple ones, coincidentally also the most expensive. (And including cables is pretty okay, I think)
- transcriptase 4y agoPerhaps because there are people out there who don't have one already, and don't want to give apple $20 extra because they wanted to increase their profit margin.
- constantcrying 4y agoThere are dozens of companies producing chargers. If anything not getting a charger gives you greater freedom of choice, since you do not need to get an apple charger. If you do not have a charger buy one. It is not like these things break every year or so.
- scarface74 4y agoWhy would you think that Apple wouldn’t just charge an extra $20 when selling a phone in Brazil to include it?
- xiphias2 4y ago,,Are there actually people who want to have a charger included? I have about half a dozen of them already, what would I even do with another?'' You should check your priviledges before asking such a question. For a huge amount of the people in the world with an iPhone, their iPhone worth more than all other assets they own together (Brazil is such a country).
- constantcrying 4y agoLets get this straight: If you are money sensitive you want to pay extra for apple to include a charger, instead of getting the cheapest one that reasonably works and saving a few dollars. Thanks for the great advice.
- cultofmetatron 4y agoexperience has taught me to always be wary of anyone who starts with "check your privilege"
- skinnymuch 4y agoBeing wary doesn’t mean the person is wrong.
- ohgodplsno 4y agoOne would think that Apple could afford to include a charger that costs them $10 in their $1000+ phone box on which they have a 50+% margin, but hey. Guess you can keep buying their official chargers at $99 because standard USB-C chargers might or might not work on their devices depending on how they feel today.

- scarface74 4y agoOh please. If you are that poor, the last thing you are buying is an iPhone in Brazil. Brazil is the most expensive place to buy a phone in the world. https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/15/yet-again-brazil-has-the-most-expensive-iphone-13-us-the-cheapest/ https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/15/yet-again-brazil-has-the-most... An iPhone is only being bought by the most affluent in those countries.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y ago> half a dozen Hold my beer. I have at least 10, and I've thrown out, twice as many. Actually, it's probably a lot more, but I can't be bothered to count. Most are cheap pieces of crap.
- smoldesu 4y agoI'm not sure why you're being downvoted for this, Apple's plastic cables are some of the worst pieces of garbage you can own. If you live in a family with pets, those cheapass cables won't even make it 2 weeks without becoming dangerously frayed.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI hadn’t noticed downvotes, so I guess it’s a race between people with or without a sense of humor/irony. Maybe it’s the “can’t be bothered to count” part. That attitude is probably anathema, to this crowd. I toss out “charging-only” cables, all the time, as well as the crappiest wall bricks, which are likely fire hazards. I own a lot of kit, so I have many of both.
- jen20 4y ago> If you live in a family with pets, those cheapass cables won't even make it 2 weeks without becoming dangerously frayed. Funny that, I’m typing this on a phone plugged into a cable I bought in 2016 and with which have travelled hundreds of thousands of miles and is in perfect condition. My dog is right next to me too. Some qualification of your blanket statement is (as usual for you) required.
- oefrha 4y agoMake it $x90 for a phone without charger and $x99 for one with it and I’m good. Otherwise it’s nickel and dime bullshit dressed in “think of the environment”.
- smoldesu 4y agoYes, I go through Apple's first-party cables every few months. They're extremely flimsy and require constant replacement.
- jaqalopes 4y agoMine all died or got lost, can I have some of yours since you clearly don’t need them?
