Well I would assume majority of iPhones have been charged using the 5w charger. That hasn't seem to slow down battery degredation since Apple has been implementing updates to slow down one year old iPhones because of battery degredation.
Got a tip for us?

2019 iPhones Said to Keep Lightning Connector With Same Old 5W Charger and EarPods in Box

That would not be a good idea to remove the USB port. I keep a cable in all of my vehicles to charge, when needed. Wireless charger is more practical for use at home, however, I would not keep one at employment, etc, as it tends to grow feet and runaway
. In addition, I use a battery pack and bring with me under certain circumstance.No, quite the opposite, very much active, young, part-time bodybuilder and LE Officer. Thanks for your input.
Yeah a fast charger in the box and a software button to toggle fast charging on and off is so anti-consumer.
But at least we have animojis, those definitely benefit the majority of users

Don't see why a fast charger wouldn't be beneficial to you if what you say is true. I have been in many situations where I leave work, go home and get dressed in 45 mins and back on the road again. Having a fast charger to charge my phone in that 45 mins is vital.
Unless you're not a heavy user so a fully charged phone can last you 16 hours.
Because I don’t care, that’s why. I’m perfectly fine with the chargers that I have at home where I can plug my phone in and my battery level still sufficient when I take it off the charger. Then when I am inside my vehicle, I can simply use my 12 V charger. I have no issue with the current standard 5 W charger, and if I really was in need of a fast charger, I will happily purchase one separately, but that’s never been the situation for me. Again, everyone has different experiences, you have your situation where you find it useful, where I do not.
When shipping ~200 million iPhones per year, seems like a waste to bundle an unnecessarily larger and faster charger. Bump it to 10W maybe since iPhone batteries seem to have roughly doubled over the past decade. What rate charger do you think it should be?
LoL what 200 million iphones? You are just deflecting now.
Who said they should bundle a +20W charger with very single iphone stating now?
Do they not ship 200 million iPhones per year? I’m thinking about the ecological waste that will occur with unnecessarily larger packaging, product, etc.
Anyway, 10W I think would be good to bundle. Everyone seems to want fast charging, which isn’t anything specific. What do you think the included charger should be? 10W? 15W? 20W? 30W?
I love my wireless car charger. You throw your phone on it, takes half a second. Keeps navigation running forever. Also good at work allows me to answer my phone without disconnecting and reconecting wire. Less important for home.
In addition to the other replies like iTunes recovery, you have to connect to iTunes to enable wi-fi sync.
So what? It definitely doesn't mean that they are going to sell 200 million iphones with a fast charger in the box in a year. This is what I meant, you just make an unnecessary remark.
Anyway this is how big a 40W charger is.
Yeah so huge
Yeah small steps.
Thta's the level of below 200$ cheap Android phones. It should be difficult for a company like Apple to match that.
I would like the headphone jack back, but it’s nit the end of the world. What I want to see is an way to copy files (music, photos, video) back and forth to the iPhone without using iTunes.

I guess we have different definitions on what complex means.
I'm basically saying Apple can do whatever they want and you can choose not to buy it because of the charger or any other reason.
I'm a completely informed customer and a 5W charger is perfectly fine for me. Couldn't care less about having a faster charger because I charge at night like most people evidently do.
Again, if it were a huge issue/selling point, it would change.
And if that’s an option you desire, nothing prevents you from doing that with the current models.
This will be a hard pass for me then. If they can release the new iPad with USB-C, they can surely do it with the iPhone now. It's ridiculous that the iPhones STILL only utilize USB 2.0 speeds regardless of cable used, while the iPad's lightning adapter has supported 3.0 since the release of the first Pro model. Absolutely no reason to keep on using Lightning since all their devices have shifted to USB-C.
Obviously we're still quite a few months away, so this can still be proven wrong.

The 5w charger generates the least amount of heat of all the charging methods. Whether one cares about it is a personal value consideration.

It’s not an unnecessary remark. Being green, minimizing waste, helping to prolong the life of iPhones is all part of it. And what is so confusing to you about 200 million iPhones per year? Do they not ship 200 million per year? Those numbers are public. If you don’t understand the big picture here, you truly don’t understand Apple. This is not about liking Apple, or agreeing with what Apple does, but rather trying to understand and reason why Apple does something.
This will be my third time asking you now - what rate of charger do you think they should include in the box? Or are you going to deflect again and go on these useless tangents calling my posts unnecessary or wrong because you disagree with them?
Or we can look at it's most basic form, complex = complicated.
You can't claim that the Auto brightness setting is in a place that makes sense and it's easy to find for anybody(like on Android for example).
Very funny
, I just searched for Turn off auto-brightness in Android on YouTube and most of the results than came back were about turning off this setting on iphones.
No! I will not buy the 2019 iPhone unless it has USB-C. This is absurd. Keeping Lightning is anti-consumer and isn't forward-thinking. I also can't fathom how it would be any more cost-effective, considering the $700 iPad Pro has it.
Sometimes the most idiotic things get said. And what you quoted was a fine example.

I can claim putting “bright” in the settings search brings one to the setting that manages it. So one doesn’t even have to know where it is.Or we can look at it's most basic form, complex = complicated.
