    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.

      Adjusted for inflation, last years 15 was $827.

      The base 16 is $800 and a separate USB C cable from Apple is about $20 for 1m and $30 for 2m.

      So, if you buy a phone and cable, you’re spending about as much as you did last year, adjusting for inflation.

      I don’t know why I just wasted all that time calculating that. I need to get a life.
