Not really, modern phones have fast charge capability that's been improving generation over generetion, so what happens is new chargers are bought to take advantage of that. The older gen chargers are E-waste either way, and apple gets to charge us for something they should have included.

That doesn’t mean they have chargers that meet the wattage and port needs of newer phones. I still use an iPhone XS Max, which uses a 5 watt usb a charger. If I upgrade to an iPhone 15 I will need to get an usb a to c cable and the phone will take forever to charge. I don’t even know if that wattage is enough to charge the phone while it’s on, especially with the pro models.

Or they could just include a 20 watt usb c charger with my $800-1200+tax and activation fees phone and not force me to spend another $60 on their power adapter. though to be fair a third party option would certainly be less expensive.

It’s amusing that you’re getting downvoted when that was the entire point of forcing Apple to standardize on USB-C like the rest of the electronics industry.
