Have you ever seen a goose put on a pair of pants? I’d wager that he likely requires a belt...
Because not every one buying a new phone has extras.... you do realize not every one is you right?

cant put them on... no opposable thumbs
Did you even for a split second think that Samsung would have the courage to "do the right thing"?
hey did you see the meme i just used???laugh at it! haha! see im funny! the courage meme is funny because Apple!
Ok, I get it might be minorly inconvenient for some, but having had most iPhones since the 3G and a second iPhone owner in the household, I have at least four spare chargers and probably six unopened pairs of earbuds in a kitchen drawer.
This move will do a great deal to reduce waste.

Yes, there is a rumor about that. It's over here:
Kuo: iPhone 12 Models Won't Include Charger in Box, 20W Power Adapter Will Be Sold Separately
iPhone 12 models will not include EarPods or a power adapter in the box, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today in a research note obtained by MacRumors....

The comments there look a lot like the comments here. Thus my point. Again: picked you at random to make that point. Picked this thread at random to make that point. Nothing personal.
It is strikingly odd though, to quip about someone posting to a forum about behavior in that forum immediately after extolling the power that posting in that same anonymous rumors forum will have on America's most valuable (and unaffiliated) company. I'm sure they're in here combing through your angsty posts to the neglect of feedback.apple.com, tim@apple.com, focus groups, NDA'd accessory maker interviews, retail store feedback, newspaper stories, and their 100's of thousand of employees...
Thank you for making our world a better place by steering Apple Inc. through your rumors posts in Samsung threads. Now that is true dedication. 😉

So here's the thing. Everyone is saying we all have drawers full of chargers and there is no need to include one. To an extent I do, but they are all 5W. What does an iPhone 12 Max for example need to charge in a reasonable time? The iPhone 11 Pro Max comes with a 18W charger. How people have heaps of them lying around? I'm pretty sure 5W won't cut it. They have moved the goalposts in last few years for the chargers needed.
I think I fell asleep trying to read that run-on second paragraph...but you’re right, it is better to remain a quiet lemming and follow Apple down whatever path they can to give you less while you pay more. Not sure to what you’re more dedicated—trying to change the mind of an anonymous person online, or bending over for a company preparing to screw you. Oh and I guess I should also add, I’m just responding to your idiotic post, nothing personal. Winky face back at yaYes, there is a rumor about that. It's over here:

I'm guessing they'll both supply cables, surely most people have some form of access to a USB port to charge their phones?
I don't mind a missing charging adapter but I'm guessing the flagships will still come with a higher wattage charger.
Apple might have been inspired the the EU and their push for a unified charger standard, heck, why manufacture a charger when you'll cop flack for it, and I'd imagine it could be an easy out in some warranty cases too, "sorry, we can't cover this as you weren't using an approved charger..." or "we think the damage was caused by the non standard charger, you should have purchased one of our approved chargers" ...
Bit of a stretch, but I'm sure the thought will have crossed someone's mind at either company.
Whatever, at least there will be less e-waste around.
To the people with a million charging bricks in their drawers, ever thing of donating them?

It is really still not clear to me that you cannot buy an Apple Watch without a band.
Say you bought the relatively expensive Milanese band, simply because you don't like cheap rubber. Then you buy the newest Watch model: there again it comes with the cheap plastic band, which you will never use,
Then you buy the newer model, etc.
Ending up still using that steel Milanese band, and having 5 plastic bands in the drawer or bin.

That's my fear. Otherwise I support the move to exclude them from the box. I think we will see a flood of dirt cheap, nasty and dangerous chargers in shops everywhere where there were little before, as well as damaged phones that get taken to shops asking for repair and even fire incidents. Those official Apple chargers are pricey.
Even then, it still says the pros will most likely start at $999. So, the price is really are notMacrumors, 8 hours ago
Analyst Believes iPhone 12 Pricing Will Start $50 Higher Even Without EarPods or Charger in Box
Despite multiple reports indicating that Apple will not include EarPods or a wall charger with iPhone 12 models this year, one analyst believes that...
There may be less number of items in the box than last year, but the less number of items have more intrinsic value than last year.
i’m using my smart phone without a charger right now.
also, Apple usually ships them fully charged.
Joking aside, the rumor is it will still come with a cable.
And if you don’t have a block, there are cars that have USB ports, sofas that have USB ports, if you have a computer or an iPad Pro it has a USB port, some TVs have USB ports, so literally there are thousands and thousands of ways to charge your phone, even without a block. And even then, you’re paying over $700 for a phone, what’s an extra 10 bucks for a block? I bet you’re also buying a phone case, screen protector, and a bunch of other accessories you don’t need.
You know, I remember when "everyone"
was triggered and lit because Chrome, Firefox, and Safari started displaying "not secure" for http only pages.There was much wailing and gnashing and bemoaning about how their life was going to end as an enduser or as "tech support" for people or someone in particular. So they'd "part ways" and swear off that browser and boldly proclaim they'd either switch the whole office over or exclaim they'll only ever use the "other" browser that doesn't label the connection "not secure".Well, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari all do it now. Did the world really end? No.
So i think we'll live through needing to figure out how to charge phones without an included super slow trickle charger.
Yes, because that sounds like what I was saying. You've convinced me I must be trying to do one of those two things.

Hahahah agreed! I’m very curious to see what they’ll do. I mean, they stopped including the power brick with the Apple Watch Series 3 a year or 2 ago.
It’s funny that they FINALLY started including the fast charger last year and now might just include a wire or nothing Lol.
Either way... We will absolutely figure it out.
If Apple started including a can of breath mints with the iPhone Samsung would follow with an announcement a few weeks after
But it's worse that Apple is doing it! I mean, because "courage"! Samsung sure isn't showing any "courage" here to support their precious customers!
While this may be true, suggestions that it’s catching on even before it started suggests people who already do have some kind of an adapter have not only started to outnumber those who don’t, but outnumber enough for this to even be a consideration.
