Apple forced to include charger with iPhone in Sao Paulo
jasonfj said:I have around seven lightning to USB-A cables with wall plugs lying around which work fine. I have another couple of QI chargers.
The vast majority of iPhone 12 buyers will also have plenty of existing cables and compatible chargers. The addition of the lightning to USB-C cable in the box provides the option to plug into a recent MacBook that many may not have already, and it doesn’t implicitly require an extra charging brick.So it depends how you look at it. I see it as a positive.

My amateur projections saying the number of infected will quadruple over the next 2 week (in the USA)...
I really hope I’m wrong.I only say these things because our panic and overreactions to the coronavirus is causing more problems than the virus itself. We need to take it seriously, but we need to have perspective and patience.
And we also need self discipline—if people were acting responsibly this outbreak would already be under control, and we’d also not be perpetually out of foods and supplies and greedy losers charging $40 for a 16oz bottle of ‘Equate’ (Walmart brand) isopropyl alcohol on eBay.
