That's not analogous. Not including the charger in newer iPhones actually reduced e-waste for me personally. I have collected many charges over the years and don't need more. When a device fails or I trade it in - I keep the charger (as most people I would think).

Perhaps they should have made the charger optional... but completely agree overall with the decision not to include it.

I would agree that its fine to not include it, had they not switched to usb-c right when they stopped including bricks so all my new devices came with usb-c chargers but I only have usb-a bricks

iPhones stopped shipping with power bricks with the iPhone 12 back in 2020, so it's not exactly new that they're not including the charging brick.

To be fair, they did include a USB-C charger with the iPhone 11 for one year. But yeah, people on a two-year upgrade (or longer) cadence will likely not have had an Apple USB-C power adapter included with any of their devices.

Only the Pro models, the base model still came with a 5W A brick
