It’s the 12 that doesn’t. The logic being that everyone already has a draw full of chargers and cables so it makes sense to remove the brick from the packaging which slims it down and reduces waste.
But apples cables are notorious for breaking easily.
But I have been using the same cable since X years and it's working fine.
Goddamn, this is why I really fucking hate Apple so much. Its why I fucking hate the fact that I picked up a base model Mac Mini. I can't argue its better for many use cases and that I switch between it and my 3900X workstation throughout the day for various workloads, but fucking Christ in Heaven it pisses me off that I have to, to begin with.
I fucking hate giving that shit company even a dollar.
When buying the iPhone 12 one could chose to get the charger ( free ).
If you need one, buy one.
I don’t see any practical, technical, ethical reason to include one. I see environmental and simplicity reasons to not include one.
The means by which people will bend over backwards to paint Apple in a good light is insane.
But yeah drop the user guide too and put it on a website, good idea. The box, not that because it protects the product leading to less wastage.
As for those missing chargers, they probably have multiple reasons for not including them. The environmental impact may even play a small role. Ultimately though, the main reasons are going to be business driven (e.g. reduced manufacturing costs and perhaps increased sales of chargers). If these people were truly interested in protecting the environment, they wouldn't be in the business of selling disposable consumer goods.
If people are going to buy consumer goods anyone trying to make it a bit better should be celebrated.

This is beyond false and way into absolute nonsense.
Been there since iPhone 8.
