They should included the charger for free. And the earphones.

Pumping out new products each year and making the devices slower and eventually useless with each update shows how much Apple cares about the environment lol

Ok but seriously including shitty old wired headphones with every iPhone is an environmental disaster

So include a voucher where you can get them if you want.

I use them in noisy spaces to bring the mic closer.

Or… and this gets pretty radical

If you still want a pair of wired headphones in 2023

… buy a pair

Meh, at this point they’d have to include AirPods. Don’t wanna end up with another 5 earbuds I’ll never use - although they are nice to have laying around as a backup. Which is why I still have 2-3 pairs, and probably even a completely unused pair too.

Or you could just buy them

Why should i buy them, they were free for years now they are problem & in return none of the companies reduced the price of the phone even a little bit, fuck these companies

And they are crying like "We care bout environment!" while selling chargers in another box

I though it was the funniest thing that they pulled the charger stunt literally ome year after switching to usb-c bricks and usb-c to lightning cables in the box. So litrrally everyone upgrading from an older iphone would have to buy a new brick and damage the environment even more.

The charger being removed is just a way for apple to maintain their profuts without increasing the phone's price. Considerimg that the 1000 dollar price tag has been a thing for nearly 6 years now, I guess It's somewhat understandable.

Playing devil’s advocate here but it isn’t like you get a new charger ever time you get a new phone.

You do get a new cable with each phone, so what exactly are you complaining about?

Bought an iPhone for my mom who lives in a third world country. I didn’t know it didn’t come with a charger and didn’t realize they changed to usb C ports.

Quality usb C chargers in a third world country are over $50 usd when shipped and cleared. Everything else available were cheap Chinese knockoffs. Ultimately this meant it took over a month before she could use the new phone.

I mean not everyone get a new phone every year and I don't think Apple chargers are in a usable condition after 2 or 2.5 years of everyday usage

I’ve been using the same charger for 6 years now. Little scratches, perfectly functional.

My last iphone was a 6s and its brand new charger did only survive for 1.5 years so I was speaking from my experience

They should just put in vouchers in the box so that you can get one for free if you need one.

Not putting in one in every box is absolutely the right thing tho. So much e waste

ChairmanLaParka t1_j8inykp wrote

Voucher could instead be just a code on the back of the paperwork that you can use to get one.

Would be nice if it was a one of those Anker GaN style chargers though.

In that case, just put the charger in the box. You know that most consumers will claim their free charger even if they don’t need it, just because it’s “free”.

TimaeGer t1_j8iyvqr wrote

I reckon many wouldn’t. Who wants to have dozens of unused chargers at home. The EU is even drafting a law that is banning that iirc

paramgyani t1_j8q6bm4 wrote

Either put the charger and earphone in the box or reduce the price of the devices by a good margin. That is the only solution

who would want wired headphones, most people already have a charger to

Ok friend apple stop giving the charger and gave usb C to lightning cable, i have an Usb A charger now where do i plug it, in my ass. and i still use wired headphones from time to time when sleep, they are cheap and i am not worried about losing or breaking them, i have bluetooth earphone but they are not that durable and r costly

t0b33 t1_j8hrsm9 wrote

So you want Apple to give you cheap stuff so you can loose or break it, yeah that’s seems very sensible. /s

paramgyani t1_j8q5js9 wrote

All those fancy AirPods and wireless bluetooth earphones are so expensive and they get lost or break easily and on top of that they don’t last that long, you cannot replace the batteries on them, compared to a wired earphone which do not need charging and can last a really long time, i get it why apple had to remove the 3.5 mm jack, and apple was giving them earphones for years now they have become e hazard suddenly, seriously why do people defend this i don’t understand

Or just use bluetooth headphones and any USB-C cable
