Why is Apple not inlcuding the equipment for fast charging?

[Newtons Apple]

Typical people hating a company for making money!

When was the last time you worked for a poor person?

It's all about the money. They'd sell you separately the 5W charger, the lightning cable, and EarPods if they could. They'd even sell you the box separately if they could get away with it. lol

As long as people are buying.

Because they care about their big fat bonuses at the end of the year, more than customer satisfaction or value for money. Welcome to Tim Cook's Apple.

It's not far off from being a reasonable request. It wouldn't be much skin off Apple's nose. But then, it might mean there's like $1m less to give to the execs at the end of the year, and they can't have that - otherwise what would be the point in all this?

Miss him yet?

I miss him every time I find myself in an Apple Store/on their website.

So I am curious....why is Apple charging extra for the equipment to be able to utilize fast charging? You'd think for the price, they would include it. I just cannot wrap my hand around this move?!

Because they don't have to include them. People will buy those things anyway.

I can agree with that

People you seem to forget that a public companies number one responsibility is the fiduciary responsibility to it’s investors. Apple is a hugely successful company with a near perfect plan.
Like it or not, that’s simply the way it is.

You are right but that is not what they are teaching in schools. Our educational system brainwashes the kids to think anyone who is successful or has money is evil! Hearing this from the 1st grade through college . . . well they can not help but think this way.

When is the last time a company hired 2000 persons while paying the CEO $10M rather than $100M? Cheering for being ripped of is the most gullible thing to do. It's like watching poor amercian people voting against universal healthcare because they might be the next multi millionaire.

What if you use one of those Samsung/HTC/OnePlus/Huawei quick charging bricks with the iPhone 8? Will that work?

Care to elaborate?

To my understanding, some of the quick charging blocks from Samsung/etc. use the Qualcomm Quick Charge technology. Apple (and quite recently Google as well) use the USB PD (power delivery) tech. To add to the confusion, some power blocks support both charging methods, so you have to be careful when picking one...

If you want to use fast charging with your iPhone 8, you have to get a USB-C to Lightning cable and either a 29W apple power block, or one of those sold by Anker/Aukey. You might want to check: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/fast-charging.2066638/page-8#post-25166182

It’s a business... and just buy one. Either you get the wireless or the wired cable. I just decided to buy a wireless fast charger dock.

That's what I understood as well
