Apple has yet to publish full details about its Diwali offer, and the promotion's end date is unknown at the current time. Though not explicitly specified, it is likely that the company will extend the offer to iPhone 11 Pro purchases as well.

Launched on September 23, Apple's Indian online store offers a full range of Apple products and accessories with shopping assistance from Apple Specialists, EDU pricing for students, free no-contact delivery, financing options, a trade-in program for iPhone sales, and more.

Maybe that just goes to show you that your premise - that apple is lying about the reasons for leaving out chargers and it’s really about money - is wrong?

Bro... Obviously you need to get something for buying an iPhone 11 when the 12 is just around the corner. Discount, Airpods, whatever.

Fair point!! I more so meant it to poke fun. I do like to believe that, although I'm sure cost has some role in it, the environmental impact is the main driving force.
 
Unfortunately that just shows how all companies aren’t paying their fare share in taxes and if all the loop holes were closed the state of our nation would be significantly improved.
That actually doesn’t show what you say it does, unless you can show that, for example, that Apple paying 27% of its income to the u.s. (plus billions more in property and state taxes) is not fair.

With as much tax money as Apple, a trillion dollar corporation, has stashed in Ireland, the LEAST they could do is give Americans free AirPods with a new iPhone purchase. In a way this is almost an insult to the consumer.

The tax money Apple has "stashed" in Ireland is from taxes a decent company would've paid in other European countries, not in the U.S.
