Except I had to still bought the charger because the newest phone can take more current and the older chargers can't provide it.

So I'm dubious about this claim in practice. Not in the iPhone box but they are still selling the charger, only separately now.

The point is you didn't have to, you could have used your existing charger - including laptop usbc chargers
