Again, I think folks are missing the point. No one's not going to not buy an iPhone over a now no longer included wall charger. It's that Apple's removed this accessory under the guise (and with likely merit) of environmentalism when really, it's a way to cut down on cost from manufacturing, sourcing materials to shipping (in those quantities, the difference adds up quickly) and is still charging the same price. It's not like they're getting out of the wall charger business. I mean, you can still buy one from them. It's just another way for them to nibble around the edges, get some good press and keep the same price. It comes off as chincy from a brand that holds itself up as a luxury and consumer friendly company . But no... people would rather carry on like a scold while again, missing the actual point.
