If they reduce the price of the phone by the amount of the charger then this is a very good move.

Or they can give free gift voucher if you need charger then take it else save e-waste.
Or it can be a gv for fast charger with 50-70% disc so only who need it will take.
I have 1 fast charger and my whole family uses the same charger. Their slow mobile charger is total e-waste.

Good move (If only the price of the phone is going to get reduced because of this exclusion*)!
Some brands still include low-wattage adapters (like apple including 5W charger for iPhone 11*) even if the phone supports fast charging
That being said…there will always be phones like Poco M2 pro solely depending on its 33W Fast charger as its main USP

If Apple does that everyone will follow. Apple gave a notch everyone followed like an idiot. It’s pathetic

how🤔
it is just like when postpaid (SIM) services had found a new way to ‘milk’ the customers and separated even basic services like “caller ID” and made them chargeble.
i remember how, in protest, i had actually stopped/ deselected it😆 and few other “VAS” and my mobile bill reduced😉

this, unbundling of charger, by itself is no “innovation”.

besides groups like Samsung are huge conglomerates.
can they be “completely” pushed out of business?
even East India Company got revived.
GE, Sony, IBM, Sharp, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation may spin-off some verticles or quit them
and a Matsushita Electric Industrial Company Limited might reinvent themselves, but hardly (if ever) go the Lehman Brothers way.
