Also I think there should be a different option where you get the option where you pay around £20 less, this would make it more appealing to a consumer. I also think if you're ordering your phone there should be more configuration like laptops. For example, an extra case, an extra charger, an extra set of earphones or cable. This could mean that they could all be included meaning there is less trips to your house from amazon for example.
Considering chargers are getting faster and more expensive, it's a puzzling time to remove it from the packaging. Amazon companies will see a big spike in profit from it probably, which will be good for a lot of people given the current financial situations. I'm hoping OnePlus don't pull the plug on the packaging (literally 😂) but my 65w charger in my OnePlus 8t will last me for a bit.

I didn’t even know that companies were saying they didn’t include the charger in order to be green I always assumed that it was because of the obvious… they wanted more money from you after selling you their phone for $2000.
What phone is $2000 besides the Folds?
@@IceBlueLugia In Australia, the s23 ultra and s24 ultra both start above $2000.
2k for a cell phone is a ridiculous price especially when the phone only costs 10 to 25 dollars to make. I just bout an Iphone 15 pro max 3 days ago. I would not recommend that phone people who have only used Iphones will never understand how much easier it is to use and android phone. At any rate i didn't get a charger in my new Iphone Box. Thought a mistake occurred they told me environment bla bla bla......... So not only does the phone not come with a charger of any type. I need to buy a special charger for an additional 50 to 130 dollars which will require a delivery truck to was fuel to send me a charger. Apple Iphon's keyboards sucks compaired to samsung, Iphone has no thumb print lock, no way download music to phone without buying a service. Cell phones are really starting to suck. I would much rather have a landline but to late for that as the land line it twice as expensive. At least back when landlines were reasonable i could buy a new phone or repair old one for less then 20 dollars. Now they giver you a phone after 12000 dollars with a card that is not compatible with any charger.
The saddest part is that most people will not even notice or complain about it
The most eco friendly thing you can do is to keep using your current phone as long as you can .

The ridiculous amounts of metals and minerals that needed to provide consumers with new phones every 2-4 years, just because a screen cracks, a conductor fails or simply that the OS version is no longer supported and cant' be upgraded is unheard of.

Is like all companies motto became:
"You will own nothing and be happy."
You're forgetting the price of the phone remains the same but they sell you less. So they make more profit.
Exactly. Cut costs by removing the charger, then increase revenue by selling it as an extra instead of supplying it for free.

@GreenJordan 30 greta is an emotional kid who jumps into arguments without even knowing the full picture, like when she took a cruise instead of an aircraft across atlantic to "save environment", but cruises take much more energy than jets per person considering that the cruises have to carry entire rooms, furniture and a million different things just to carry you compared to a jet which only carries a seat for you and some very light insulation and only the bare minimum.
Data:
An average cruise ship takes two weeks to cross atlantic, uses 150 tonnes of fuel per day = 2100 tonnes of fuel for the trip
It carries about 3000 people = 0.7 tonnes of fuel per person
boeing 747 uses approx 10 kg of fuel per kilometre and there are 9000 kilometres = 90 tonnes of fuel per jet
It carries about 500 people = 0.18 tonnes per person

DPD have started telling customers to get their deliveries dropped at their nearest store… that saves fuel because we don’t have to come to your house. But then the customer has to drive to and from the store. And DPD also don’t mention that 50% of their HGV trailers are completely empty at any given time, and that they also send HGV trucks without a trailer at all, on a 600 mile round trip for no reason due to logistics screwups that happen all the time.
You're completely right with the big picture, but the only reason they went for phones without chargers and called that move "green", is because with the now flatter box designs, they can load WAY more phones (around 40% if I recall) inside the planes, thus needing less planes to carry the phones around.
Not saying this is a valid reason, just that this is the one they used as an excuse.

A well done video.. informative, educative, and entertaining. Kudos
I always had uses for my old chargers, infact I am constantly finding myself running out of USB chargers and have to buy more. As you said with my current S22 all my old chargers were not compatible as this phone uses USB C to USB C charging cables, where as all my old ones are USB C to USB A. Nor did they have the higher charging rates needed for features like fast charge.
Which just resulted in me to pay $30aud for a charger that before would have just come with the god damn phone before, which is why I think companies jumped onto this trend so quickly, it has nothing to do with the environment, rather now they can upcharge you for something that would have just been included in the first place. I'd also recommend people keep their old phones if they are still in good workable condition, they come in useful for many thing. Mainly because phone insurance is a scam and if your phone dies good luck getting a replacement in a timely or costly manner.

I don’t disagree with anything he has said, I just think there’s a little bit of math he’s missing out on that we should all take into account. I don’t know exactly how to work it out into an equal but taking into account everything he has stated in this video about now actually having 3-4X extra waste and agreeing that it’s true, what’s the time span of which that ends up covering itself and then making up for itself? So right now we have 3-4X, but eventually there’s will come a time where that’s slowed down because people have bought their accessories and there are only so many people on earth at one time so there will come a time when people aren’t wasting 3-4X compared to now and are actually saving, when would that be and going past that time what are the positive and negative effects from what is happening now at that point. Honestly I question that I’ve been wanting answered because I think that would be the best way to find out

The point of the outer packaging from Amazon is quite important. Often they use boxes that are much larger than the product. I purchased wiper blades for my car. As is common now days, the driver side and passenger side were of different lengths and had to be purchased separately. Each arrived separately (about a week apart) in huge boxes that could have fit 20 blades each.
I'm actually the complete opposite, I hate having so many different bricks and cables. So I bought 1 brick that has a 100 watt output, with 3 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port. I'm ready for anything that needs charging. I can easily charge things full speed when 3 things are connected to the brick. Not everyone uses the charge bricks that are included with packaging.

Apple uses some of the dirtiest and greediest business tactics but hides behind a veil of looking out for the consumer. I really hope people come around to this and realize what they're actually supporting instead of taking what Apple says at face value.
They also make phones that last (and are actually used) for years longer than the competition. And it’s been shown cheaper third party repairs tend to break down or cause other issues far too often thus nullifying their benefits, whereas when you pay a little extra for an apple repair/replacement you actually extend the life of your device as intended.

The lack of a charger with my new Samsung phone this year really irritated me. No matter which USB I plugged into I could not get fast charging. It was taking almost 24 hours just to get 80% charge in the phone. So I ordered a charger off Ebay and now I get the fast charging and the phone will charge from 10% to 100% in less than 2 hours. I sometimes wonders if these manufacturers even have any brains left in their R&D departments.
The charging standard is usually written on the transformer. I don't think you needed to spend all that time randomly plugging in to things.
If your phone offers a charging standard that wasn't available one year ago, it's fairly obvious that you'll need a new charger for that. At least it seems to be.
They won't give you one but you can be sure they'll sell you one.

You can't know that because Apple adjusts the price based on the fluctuation of the dollar and every year there is a different price for the iPhone.

@@Shakazuloeman I can.
At one point, the iPhone SE was 399 dollars.
The next day, they removed the charger and headphone and the price has stayed 399.
Since then, it has continued to stay at 399.
That inflation excuse is plain bullshit.
This is also something that bothered me a lot. I don't switch or buy phones a lot, basically only when I need to when it's broken, but I also kinda refuse to buy the newer ones because I'm a bit picky when it comes to phones. Not because of brands or something but the specific things they take away. I don't want to buy a phone and have to switch everything up because I could use everything I bought before with my phone, so I don't want to buy a new charger, headphones and so on. I'm a person that can't sleep when it's to quite, so I watch a couple videos before it knocks me out.
Although it's not the best, I know, I also do that while having one wired earphone in, which helps when I fall asleep, because the other side is heavy enough to pull it out of my ear and away from me that I don't roll on it the whole night and dig it into me, which I wouldn't be able to do with a wireless one, I tried that before. But while on this topic, I'm also not a fan of them taking out the headphone jack in general. Wired headphones are still more reliable than wireless ones and if you forgot to charge them or you didn't notice them running out of juice, you're shit out of luck. Plus, if you find a pair that sounds good to you, but they are wired, you're also shit out of luck because if you buy a new phone you can't use the damn things anymore.
Of course, you also have the points that you are making in the video, of having to get packages 3 times the size for something that could've been in the phone package in the first place. It's not them going green, because for the sake of the environment, it's them saving money so you have to spend more to buy their new charger and ridiculously high priced ear buds, because yours are not compatible anymore.
As fun as having a new phone is, I dread the day my A70 dies, because of this. And I know I can still use my old charger, but that's not the point. The point is, that they loopholed necessary items for your phone, that should be included to use it properly, to shove it back in our faces, having to spend more money, so they can pretend that did something good for the environment, while actually making you the a**hole now, because you have to order those things, instead of them including them.
I do gotta give a shoutout to OnePlus because my OnePlus Open came with a case, USB-C cable, and 67W charging brick (I would've preferred a USB-C to USB-C brick but it works fine as is) in the box. I remember that the last phone I got, the Galaxy Z Fold2, there was actually also a brick and cable included, but they only included it with the Fold phones because of how much more expensive than a flagship it was, but that was the Fold2 and I have no idea if the Fold3, 4, or 5 included the brick in the box as well. Still no case with the Fold2, though, which REALLY sucked because when it came out back in 2020, there was only *ONE SINGULAR* decent case if you wanted actual protection for your phone: the Spigen ToughArmor Pro, which was a fantastic case and did, in fact, add a significant added layer of protection to the phone, but it was one of very few options for a case (again, that was actually effective at protecting the phone) at launch and it retailed for $80. I'm glad I got it but it felt bad buying a phone for $1800 and needing to throw an extra $80 on top for a case. (especially because they knew they could charge that much being the only good case that was out at the time) It does kinda suck, also, that the entire smartphone industry seemed to have silently decided to kill off the headphone jack, but I can kinda forgive no jack and no headphones with a foldable, at least, since they already gotta cram a lot into a thin package.

almost any time a company says "we're doing this for the environment" what they really mean is "we're doing this for our wallet"

Or still give out plastic bags but charge you for the privilege
Yes, but in fairness, that was a govt mandate, at least where I'm from, Western Australia. They had to stop giving away free plastic bags, it forced us to bring in our own, better, reusable bags. It was/is a good move, but there should be penalties for the plastic toy trinkets - they're far worse, basically never break down (versus the thin, grey plastic bags that were designed to eventually break down). I used to work at a supermarket when they did those promo toys, you would not believe how many we'd go through, 2--3 pallets in a day when and we sold out early... That's like 2-3 whole cars worth of plastic toys per day. Insane.
@@skullsaintdead just a friendly reminder that those "eco" bags break down to microplastics (basically plastic dust), which pollute the environment all the same. But now it is drinkable and inhalable on top of that. Yay?

Like, really those shits are the worst, literally anything is better than them. Lol, even worse than Apple wannabes' "courage". :)
apple tries to push customers to buy new devices instead of repairing them by both dodgy sales pitch and incredibly overpriced repair prices. at the same time, apple also goes out of their way to make third party repair as difficult as possible (many of the methods they use even cost them extra, showing you just how important it is to them that less devices get repaired).
apple is far from eco friendly, and their privacy record is also purely for image.
just as you would expect for a large tech company.
@@drkastenbrot plus they have the bonus of being able to re-sell the cheaply repaired device as refurbished items
Very subtle with the charger promo in the end!
The reason is not the cost of packaging as it is so low. The real reason is most phone manufactures ship phones by cargo plane now which is massively more costly than ship, but much faster, and having a smaller phone box allows them to fit a whole lot more on a plane.

"We want to go green!" while wanting to convince their users that they need to buy a new smartphone every single year. Interesting...
Companies have become masters at profiting off social media frenzies apple is just one of them. Remember we have the power as the buyer.

They should encourage recycling old phones instead of trading in barely used ones

full agree, and even if we pay for chargers , headphones , we still not durable versions of it with cheapest option . I had to buy 5-10 sets of earphones including wired and wireless within a 2 year period . most of them are just e waste now . instead phone manufacturers could provide a single durable one . i am still missing those high quality earphones which comes with sony and nokia 😥
Chargers are different around the world, depending on the regional power outlet standards. Now they can use the same package layout everywhere...
I’m starting to imagine that companies will just stop selling the phone all together and just sell a voucher that says you own an phone... and sell it as 1,000 dollars.
That already exist and it's called NFT :)

It's just because of Mobile Congress
Then rest of the androids jump after seeing apple
If it made them money, they would say they fell much more quickly than Apple could and fell much further.
So yeah... they would do it.
Love my Oppo which came with a 100 watt charger, usb c cable, phone case and screen protector already applied to the phone
IMO what is even worse is getting rid of headphones and the headphone jack. I live in a colder climate and the last thing you want is to destroy your battery life by listening to music in the cold winter. Also if you lose your charger then good luck not being able to charge your headphones and you also have input lag when playing games.
There was 0 benefit to the consumer losing the headphone jack, only negatives.
Can't the companies just be honest and say "f*ck you, we like money"
Fuck yeah
Not gonna lie you had me in the first line.
D brand
Yes better buy old phone
Heck Yeah...
if the point is " you have your old charger" then i would rather continue using my old phone than buying the new one
Let's just buy the last newest wired charging phone.
@Dan Trebune yes then you have to update your phone and buy headphones and charger separately. more updates more money
Even still I am regularly using an iPhone 5, 8 years later, a hand-me-down from my mom.
@@lukethekuya I just got one from my bro a few months ago
Samsung phones work with any USB charger, not just one specially for that model. I have S6 Edge charge with salvaged Sony charger and aliexpress noname charger with no problems whatsoever. I don't get why one needs new charger with new phone._
Hi MrWTB, I appreciate your upbeat attitude in this video about how electronics companies are actively and happily ripping off the consumer.
I was glad that the new phone that I recently bought came with a new charger because my old phone had a standard micro usb but the new one had a usb type c so the charging lead would not be compatible with the new phone so if they all decide to ditch chargers but at some point in the future redesign the chargers way of connection yet again
This man should work in the UN, These facts literally moved me
Exactly. I'm just here thinking... Okay who is listening to this? Is it just his subscriber or those that can actually use these points to cause some changes 🤷🏾♂️
I think he should open his own phone company or tech business that makes things beneficial to us. Just a thought
I really really wish there was a way we could corner these companies to respond to the solid points raised here
A petition can help raise the issue to the public news
i mean, there is a way, just dont buy from them. but it is harder to do than to just say like i did
“The environment” last thing they discussed when the Person who thought of that proposed his plan to apple he was liek “save money”
Tag them or share the video on twitter. Do your part
I think they know all of these consequences, however all they care about is the profit.
Our local logistics suppliers have sealable plastic bags, where you just have to bubble wrap your product, put it in the bag and seal it. Because it's a fully pliable bag, a lot of such bags could be packed into a small space, and each bag will tightly fit around the product it contains, taking up as little space as possible. This seems better than using hard cardboard boxes that take up much more space. I wonder why Amazon doesn't try this.
They did briefly, I'm sure the reason they stopped is that paper bags and boxes are cheaper.
I went out and bought a multi charger that also works my laptop. Not that I was tossing them, I have some old ones laying around for other devices and some have been given to friends and family
The other thing that is kind of ridiculous about this so-called green approach is that not including those items in the box doesn't save the customer any money as the companies still charge the exact same amount for their phones that came with the charging brick and headphones.
that's more reason why you should be happy that their giving you a better, faster, bigger battery capacity phone for the same price without accessories you have already. would you prefer the same phone with the same hardware and feature for the same price with a wire earphone and 5w brick? do you think a 2022 toyota camry cost the same as a 2021 camry? its $800 more with some plastic things that hard shape differently but all the engine/transmission and other performance hardwear is the same.
@@18magicMARKer oh fuck off, many of these phones come with a "faster charge" feature thus forcing you to buy the "faster charger" separately and thus increase shipping, increasing packaging so it is not "green" at all
It was always a dodge by the MBAs "take one pickle out of the jar" approach to success. It's taught in every US biz school, apparently. Give people less, charge the same, gaslight their asses off.
@@18magicMARKer This is a horrible argument, it is expected that a new generation of phone would be an all around upgrade to the last one. Car generations are much longer lived than that of smartphones and absolutely do go through major changes when a new generation comes out. We shouldn't have to be proud of a company for making incremental improvements, that should be the bare minimum expected from a new phone. Your statement mirrors the exact mindset these companies want you in, removing the charger and headphones isn't what allows the phone to stay at the same price, it's the fact that the company is making nearly 1000$ more than it cost them to make each phone.
the solution imo is they should include a voucher you can redeem at a local store (apple, walmart etc..) for the charger if you need it.
everyone wins.
Selling phone without charger is like selling a pair of shoes without lace.
Or selling car without steering
Or buying a gaming pc without a fucking power supply
@@GoatStormChaser Case manufacturers:
Or selling a vacuum without the accesories
Or selling hand sanitizer without the sanitizer
Or so the problem is some of the older units that like battery chargers are not compatible with the newer devices
Every member of my family has a multi-port charger beside the bed, or on the desk. We can also charge devices from our laptops.
I have 12 old chargers in a plastic bag, that ultimately will go in the bin.
When we travel we take a multi-port 120w charger.
Both our cars have 40w chargers plugged into the cigarette lighter port.
I charge my Laptop & phone from the Thunderbolt ports on my Apple Monitor.
So.. I totally disagree. Plus, I prefer slower, lower wattage chargers, because the batteries in my devices last longer.

A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…
“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”
Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed…
“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”
The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…
“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?”The old man smiled and said…
“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today".

It's not about the environment, that's just a feel-good corporate talking point. The companies are simply trying to cut production costs so they can increase their profit margin.
You are 100% right
Thankfully, not a lot of companies are copying Apple and Samsung. I hope they won't copy them in the future.
@@acupanraphaelgio7925 Unfortunately, if the companies doing it are increasing their profit margins then the ones not copying would have to start copying them because of the competitive pressure otherwise they could go bust or lose market share. It's Capitalism.
greenwashing is very real. if corporations were really caring about the environment, they would reduce the amount of releases they do and keep certain components that they already have instead of tossing them all for a newer "aesthetic" iteration
Not too mention, smaller boxes=more space for the shelf to sell
Idk I got a gallium nitride charger years ago that has 2 fast charging usb-c ports. Ive replaced by phone 2 times while Ive had the charger over the last ~5 years (my phone has a catastrophic accident quite a lot). Charger is still working great. When I finally upgrade to the iPhone 15 ill just get a usb c cable
I'm so glad they don't include chargers any more!! I have so many (more than 20) chargers, half of them are the old USB, half are the new USB-C, and I usually just charge from my laptop or the car...
likewise, laptop chargers... I only buy laptops now that use USB-C (high wattage) so I don't have to carry those awful power bricks... a big part of my purchasing decisions are whether any power reqs are USB-C, like wireless headphones, speakers and other things... the next time I buy an electric shaver, toothbrush or flosser, I'll def look for USB-C ... just the (proprietary) replacement cord for my flosser cost more than a USB-C charger (and that's if I needed one, which I have too many of now anyway)
Wireless chargers are sorta cool, but not all that convenient for me... plus there's the wasted power not only in operation but in manufacturing... and also if you have a thick case (or a magnet mount on the case) they won't even work
If they care about the planet so much, then why not launch 1 flagship every 2 year. I think all flagships can be used for 2 years easily.
MORE MONEY!!!
i use them for 4, but they cant live without the millions 1 flagship a year provides
Im here using my 5S till this day. Maybe if people didn’t change phones every six months they would stop making new ones too.

This would only happen a year after Apple does it.
you dont get a PHONE, WeRE Saving teh plaNET. YEAH SCIENCE BT
Bro you don't think anyone believes it was ever about environment? It's always about saving money.
But at the same time they are losing money because 50% of the buyers of the phones are just going to get the cheaper versions of the other devices he’s talking about. I ain’t gonna lie I’ve bought Walmart chargers that lasted longer than the charger apple sent when they was selling the chargers with the phone so the more people that knew that before they stopped selling chargers with the phones now they’re just gonna be like okay cool Walmart or Target sells better chargers anyway and then you have the people like he said in the video that’s gonna just use they’re old chargers well once they go out the average person doesn’t have time to go to the Apple Store so they’re going to go to Walmart or Target now Yes I know half of them are just going to buy an apple charger from Walmart or Target so Apple still gets a cut but the other half are just gonna buy a charger that fits an iPhone which means another brand gets that cut. And then those first 50% that’s just gonna buy apple products from your average retail store that sells them might realize after awhile some of these aftermarket products for iPhones or even Samsungs at least on the same level of quality but cheaper their actual products

I use charger that i got with my first smartphone in 2012. It does some clicking sounds sometimes when no devices plugged in, but it does not affect it efficiency. 500 mA is enough for me, time is not a problem for me and battery lives longer. Sony doing things in terms of hardware quality.
I buy a Xiaomi 13T on late 2023 and they still include the charger in box. it's good that Xiaomi didn't do through like Apple and Samsung on this
The final iPhone will just be the blueprint. And you will have to buy every part and make it yourself
Lol
you meen download it, then have it 3D -janked- printed at your expense
not even that it'll have a number u have to text "blueprint" too to receive the instructions
Apple would never provide blueprints of its products.
you mean iPhone Lego edition ?
When Apple said "we're going green", they actually meant they were going for more green.💸💰
It’s an excuse to make more money. Just like another review. You buy a pair of nikes. But, your only getting the shoe, but not the laces. You have to provide the laces separately
Good one Gallagher.

My first Type-C smartphone came with a charging cable. I immediately bought two 10 foot high speed charging cables and USB charging bricks that ensure that all the devices get exactly the right amount of power to charge. I have one brick and cable next to my home office desk and the other next to my nightstand. After they arrived I have literally never used the charging cable that came with my smartphone and I don't even know what happened to it. I bought some charging battery packs, some of those came with wires. I've also bought some other devices, like bluetooth speakers, etc. that came with wires. Now, I have a mess of wires sitting in a drawer, because I generally carry one high speed power charging cable in my backpack along with a power brick when I am planning to be away from the house for an extended period of time, like going to a theme park or hiking or travelling. That wire that came with my smartphone is a waste, it's just sitting in a drawer somewhere, probably in the mess of wires or possibly in the box that smartphone came in which is sitting in my closet somewhere. We don't need wires to come with the smartphones. I don't expect something to happen to the plugs or wires, but if something did happen to either of them or both, I'd buy a new one. - The plug part that goes into the wall for the wire to plug into, I can buy them without any packaging on them at all at my local drugstore. I can also buy cheap wires without any packaging at drugstores and dollar stores. And I can buy expensive, high quality wires, without packaging at my local electronic store. I can also order wires online that will come in packaging, but not a lot of packaging. So, I disagree with this video. - Oh wait, this video is 3 years old.
