I like that apple is trying to reduce waste by not including copper and plastic that is superfluous for a high percentage of phone buyers.

Can Apple not simply offer a two iphone SKUs, "with charger"; "without charger"?

Or simply hand the buyer of a new iphone a free charger if they ask for one, but we all know it's not about the environment.

> we all know it's not about the environment.

Kinda like all the complaints are not really about the charger ;-)

I think the vast majority of buyers would ask for a free charger because:

1) one more can't hurt, what if you lose one of the others?

2) it's free, so why not?

3) it's free and then I can SELL it!

4) ... maybe more?
