After mocking Apple, Xiaomi also omits charger from upcoming Mi 11 flagship
GeorgeBMac said:Yeh, I and my friends & family have bunches of old, obsolete charging bricks that are incompatible with both the newer, fast charging iPhones as well as the charging cable Apple so "generously" provides with their new phones.For my grandson, his dad spent nearly $1,500 on a new iPhone for him -- but we had to then shell out another $20 for a modern, compatible charging brick.I expect that nonsense from the makers of low cost phones. To get slapped in the face with it from the maker of the world's premier phones is just wrong. And, excuses don't make it right. They simply emphasize how wrong it is.
The thing is all those old lightning cables and charging bricks work perfectly with your new iPhone. If you were happy enough using the included 5w brick before, nothing has changed. It was always terrible and I myself have never used one for charging any iPhone I’ve ever had. I currently charge my iPhone with the MagSafe connected with a power brick that came with the Pixel 4a that my brother gave me, because it was sitting in a drawer. Prior to that I was using my 18w iPad Pro charger which I could still use since I don’t and never have used to charge my iPad Pro
