Remember the iPhone was an $800 unsubsidized phone with little capability when it first launched.

Appeal to what?  A kangaroo court that always fines US companies guilty and EU companies innocent?  

Do you really believe that the US news bubble that you live in would report on the EU Commission fining EU companies?  Newsflash, they have done so many times, you are just ignorant of it.

US does not have any organization that can fine companies 10% of global turnover before any court appeals are done.  If the EU is not a definition of a kangaroo court, I don't know what is

You're probably right. It's sad, because with MagSafe half the electricity gets used to increase the entropy of the universe which raises carbon emissions for no reason. It is slow, it makes the phones bigger and heavier, and hardly anyone uses it. And yet, for so many years the only thing reviewers would say every September was "and it still doesn't have teh wireless chargez!". Apple doesn't want the big story in September to be that, so they will include the wasteful and useless thing.

There's a ridiculous number of false statements in your post. Is that suppose to be parody that is falling flat?

Actually most of the statements are true.  It is less efficient than wired charging, it is slower than wired charging and it does make the phone fractionally heavier (if not bigger).

But I don't agree that hardly anyone uses it - I suspect most people wirelessly charge.

You believe that...

• MagSafe half the electricity gets used to increase the entropy of the universe which raises carbon emissions for no reason
• It is slow
• hardly anyone uses it
• wasteful and useless thing

None of those things are true as stated and most of the others have some truth to them but are lame duck statements, like "makes the phones bigger and heavier."
