A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In Europe, next year, every phone will need to use usb-c. Since you're probably not using multiple phones at once, having more than one charger is a waste of BOTH ressources and money. Having the charger separate BUT with the price included in the phone's (because let's be realistic, there is no such thing as 'free' in the mobile market, just fees you don't see) would just raise the phone's price for everyone (including myself).
So I'll have to disagree. Having the phone NOT bundled with a charger is fighting both an economical and environemental waste.
