My thoughts about Apple removing the charger from new devices

 At the Apple event on September 15, 2020, Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 6 and the Apple Watch SE. These two watches have removed the power adapter from the box of the devices, requiring you to purchace the charger seperately. It's rumored that Apple will take this same action with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro this year. This is absolutely rediculous BS, and this is why. 

Firstly, if Apple does this, then people will likely use their old phone charger with their new phone, which is a problem, because their old charger is likely the 5W charger. If the user uses the 5W charger with their new phone that needs a lot more than 5W, their new phone will trickle charge, and put more stress on their batteries, making their lifespan shorter, and making it so that you have to buy a new phone sooner. 

Secondly, and this is related and a lot worse, is people using cheap eBay chargers like these. These are dangerous for you and your phone, yourself, and your property, as they are made cheaply and don't have proper safety measures. This is especially true for fake MacBook MagSafe chargers.

If you get these phones and don't have an old charger or want a new charger, do yourself a favor and buy a charger from Apple directly. This is a much better choice than cheap chargers, and there are rumors that Apple is going to offer a discount price with the new iPhones. If not, buy a reputable charger from companies like RAVPower or Anker. Thank you for reading.
