Right, it’s the environmental concerns and not the company seeing if they can get away with cutting the cost of providing the charge block.

Not just cutting the cost, but charging you extra for selling you a separate charger.

Who in 2023 doesn’t have a USB-C to outlet charging adaptor?

How the hell are they charging all their other devices that definitely have USB-C ports on them?

Weird thing to complain about.

I have a dozen regular USB blocks from the before fore times. But I only have one C block from my first pixel phone. Now they all come with C to C which are borderline useless to I had to buy a bunch of A to C cables to use the old blocks.

You’re describing a USB-C -USB-A cable. OOP describes a USB-C - USB-C cable. I didn’t have an outlet brick with a USB-C until I bought my current phone (S23 U) which only came with a cable like the one in the post

I didn’t have one until I had to get a new phone last year that came with one. If it just came with a USB-C to USB-C cable and no brick, I wouldn’t have had a single thing to charge the phone with. I have no USB-C port on my PC. I didn’t have my PS5 yet. And I didn’t even have any other USB-C using devices. Tons of devices still just have Micro-USB ports. Especially if they are cheap.

IDK about you, but I’m not getting or updating all my shit every few months. I still only have this phone, that one brick and now a PS5 and its controllers that use USB-C.

Literally all my devices charge with USB c now, no idea what your issue is.

Nintendo switch. My phone. My headphones. My headlamp. My flashlight. My ear buds pod. My VR headset…

I have no lack of usb c charging capability.

Ironically, delivery has a much lower carbon footprint than going somewhere and buying it at the store

Not if you live in a place where walking to a store would not be life-threatening.

Not necessarily maybe you live a long way from the store. If I wanted to get a USB-C adaptor I’d probably have to go to the other end of the street, but that’s because I live in the town centre.

From where I used to live that would be a 10 mile walk, which while totally doable is a bit far in my opinion, especially if I have literally anything else I want to do with my weekend.
