    I honestly can’t be mad at this point because what they SHOULD do is sell cables in bulk packaging to the Apple store, and then when they sell a phone they say “Do you need a USB cable? Free with the phone.” If they say “No we’re okay I’ve got hundreds of them by now” no problem, if they say “Yeah in fact can I get two?” Sure. Same with chargers. Of course this is Apple we’re talking about, so they’re probably $69.99 each.

    It’s fine if they reduce the price accordingly.

    If it’s still the same price after they take the cable out, it was never about reducing waste to begin with.

    Knowing Apple, that wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest, which is why I never have and never will own any of their products.

      well…by selling both the cable and wall adapter as separate items it doubles the packaging by necessity so it was still never about reducing waste

      which is why I never have and never will own any of their products.
