I applaud Apple for making this move and being more environmentally friendly, even if it also lines their pockets. I don't agree with the sentiment that people shouldn't be able to complain about this and should just be thankful for what they have though. Even though I don't agree with them, people have the right to make their feelings known, and blind people pay just as much for their iPhones as sighted people, so they have just as much right to complain as anyone else.

If you think back to 2009 or 2008 we were just happy to have a flip phone or a candy bar phone with talking caller ID. Now we can just about do anything on our phones that anyone else can do. So if we need to buy a charger the charger is interchangeable with almost any cable. Again let’s be thankful for what we have.
