    Nope. Can't remember if I posted in the thread from when Apple made this decision like a month or two ago, but I had the same opinion. It's going to result in less waste and that's a good thing.

    And like I just said, ideally they'd figure a way to give a charger and earbuds to anyone who needs them but I'm gonna wager that first-time phone buyers aren't the majority of people buying these and that most phone buyers have old ones.

      I like the concept of less waste too but coming from a tech company that sustains itself on planned obsolence I somehow doubt this is about the waste and more about the $$$

        Obviously that is the case, but I don't care because the outcome of less waste is objectively good.

          I agree less waste is good. I think I was thrown off by the other poster asking if you were a bit. Sorry if it sounded like I thought this was totally bad. More like performative and empty.

          Exactly. Samsung and Apple bad, too overpriced and evil, get something else. But waste is also bad

        the goal is for sure more money but also I assume everyone buying a phone has a charger at home for their current phone
