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.
- xiphias2 4y agoSure, it may be true, when I travel to Brazil, girls always want me to buy them an iPhone (and probably other affluent tourist guys as well). Of course they are not the one buying it, they always get it as a gift.
- scarface74 4y agoHow does that dispute anything I said? It’s still affluent people buying the phone and wouldn’t struggle buying a $10 USB wall charger.
- whatsu 4y agoWe have alot iphones in favelas. People buy in up to 24 installments. An official Apple charger costs R$ 220 (reais) in the official store, that's 20% of the monthly minimum wage.
- scarface74 4y agoThen don’t buy an official Apple charger? You can buy a cheap third party charger almost anywhere.
- whatsu 4y agoIt doesn't matter if it is official or not, selling a product that needs another one to work is configured as "tie-in sales", plainly prohibited in Brazil's Consumer Protection Code.
