I was just discussing this with a friend of mine. I only need one or two of each cable type, and one or two wall plugs. I don't need every device to come with an extra cable. It's wasteful.

Given the increasingly small number of different cables, I'd be fine with buying my own every few years.

This appears to refer to the actual charger itself, not the cable. In the UK (and I presume the rest of Europe), iPhones have only shipped with a USB cable for years. Honestly I can't even remember if they _ever_ shipped with a plug.

My iPhone has always shipped with the plug

The folding uk plug, it was under all the other stuff, I think you may have been throwing it away https://store.apple.com/uk/xc/product/MGRL2B/A

I never had an iPhone ship without the plug.

If there wasn't, I would've immediately reported it is damaged goods.

Nope. Bought the new SE this year in Germany. Arrived with the usb cable and the plug.

You have been throwing your plug in the bin.
