What do we think of Apple products?

Some people are mad about the new iPhone not shipping with a charger or earphones. Idk how to feel about this.

This is a good thing from an ecological perspective, and no doubt the rest of the industry will follow suit. It is wasteful to be producing chargers that are not needed since people already have half a dozen at home. Knowing Apple's 'ethics', their motivation will have been to make people buy overpriced accessories separately, but it is still a win for the environment.

However, the continuation of the Lightning charging cable defies the rest of the industry's switch to the universal USB-C, which the EU has even wanted to be an enforced standard. Not only is this awful for the environment, it also screws Apple's own customers who need a different cable to charge an iPhone Pro vs. an iPad Pro, making a mockery of their claims to offer a simplified user experience. Steve Jobs will be turning in his grave.
