But now it's just the iPhone. It used to be the iPhone + earbuds and plug. It's objectively less product.


Who buys an iphone because of the included $0.50 plug and earbuds? Those products are mostly just straight e-waste at this point.

I don't see how people paying 1 grand from Apple are upset at not having $0.50 power brick. If it's a problem, you can get a USB A/USB C Amazon Basics dual bricks + braided lightning cable that will last forever and is objectively better quality.


$19 on the Apple Store.

Granted, if you're enough of a sucker to buy these accessories directly, it's not Apple's fault; it's yours.
