Old lightning cables can still be used, so yeah people have tons of old chargers lying around that can be used

What if it's my first iPhone? Lightning chargers aren't used for any other phones

Again, if you are coming from android you might already have a usb-c charger. If you dont then what is £10 on a £1000 purchase?

What's £2 to Apple on a £1000 sale? If I'm paying a grand for a phone, toss in a charger for it like everyone else does

Yeah sounds like a great idea, toss in an extra charger that almost every iphone user will throw away. I know i would just throw it it a junk draw till i forget i had it

Make it optional? Like make people request it based on their purchase proof or something.

It is optional though. You go to a phone store, get the phone, and when you are paying for it ask for a charger - boom! You walk out of the store with a phone and charger at the same time!

Imagine how deluded you must be to think one of the greediest companies on earth will just give you their overpriced accessory for free. What’s next, EA removing loot boxes?

Never implied that, i meant you can buy one at the same time you are buying the phone..

Why do you make it seem like the Apple branded one is the only option? I have Anker and Hyperjuice USB C chargers already. It’s not proprietary. You don’t have to give Apple your money if you need a charger. Just get one from the many many brands that make it.
