They also told me my 4 year old I pad which I bought for just over $1,100 for was “vintage” and I would be better off keeping it because they “might” give me $60.

Not to mention they still produce the other stuff. They just charge you extra for it separately. They didn’t make a difference climate-wise.

theyre really not making much of a difference climate wise unless they stop mining and using heavy metals in their products 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why did you even buy the brick if you already have an iPhone?

Because I have an I Phone 12 max. It still uses a lightening adapter, which I can use with a standard usb brick. The watch, that I bought yesterday, comes with a watch charger that has a c-usb end that goes into the brick. Therefore I needed a brick with a c-usb port.

I had a 12 Pro Max. They didn’t come with an adapter. You bought the wrong adapter earlier as USB C adapters were available back in 2021

Ok. I didn’t have one until yesterday when I bought my $500 watch that didn’t come with all the shit I need to use it.

Greed my friend. A committee of out of touch tools got together in a board room. Plugged *don’t include charger or headphones* into an excel spreadsheet. The profit margin went up, they green lit it and the marketing department spun up some rah rah bullshit about how this is a total consumer win because they’re saving the environment. You get the Apple logo on your phone and they keep the $60 built into the cost of your phone for your charging accessories. Total win 🥇

I wasn’t expecting to get a grip in exchange for an old iPad. They won’t even sell anything that’s >2 years old. But if you think about it. The raw materials in that IPad aren’t worth more than $60 to Apple. That’s before factoring in their turnover which based on their track record is probably insultingly large. We’re paying easily 6, 7, 800% into their raw profit margin and it’s fucking tragic that we keep letting them do it. I say as I fork over $500 for a fitness tracker without a charger.

There’s a type c adapter that is compatible with USB chargers. I had this problem specifically for Apple car play and bought a pack of two from Best Buy for like 10$!

They'd make a difference in the climate if they stopped making the same phone every year but with a new name and cutting support with older phones 💀
