Open your mind consumers. These companies are just milking you. Don't fall for their anti pollution theories. They just wanna maximize their profit.
Don't support them. It all started with the headphone jack. The more you ppl keep quiet the more they'll take you for granted.
They might lower prices for now so as to gain support from the fanbois. But eventually they'll raise it back year by year. It'll be too late and you all will be desensitized for this.

One of these days, a "Don't buy" protest is going to hit an unlucky greedy OEM, that's when they'll learn not to play God with customers money.

Nowday every compny doing too much. Tbey will remove charher on the name of cost cutting but mark my words. They will not reduce charher cost just like 3.5mm jack. They will sell theor phone on the older price and make more profit. I really hate apple. If company want to reduce prices then why they not remove manual user guide from box, why not giving ordinary box .both r reduce price atleast 10 to 20 USD. 1st everyome start removing earphone thn start removing earphone jack and now going to remove charger. Can someone tell me why goverment or any orgnisation not take any action against thia stupod things? (Sorry for poor english)

I wonder what the android fanboys think about this now. Apple didn't even do it yet, and it's already being copied. Since this post all the Samsung boys have been real quiet.

On the other hand, dropping the bundled charger from premium Galaxy phones also makes sense as some models support 45W charging but come bundled with only a 25W power brick. So, if you want 45 W you’ll have to buy a charger separately anyway, plus you won’t have much use for the one you got with the phone.
In this case bundle the 45W one and drop the 25W one, not everyone is a previous phone owner those who buy their first and high end wont be happy to spend another $50 for the charger which is a basic necessity (they wont be happy with 25W charger either)

Switch to Xiaomi and enjoy. Don't fool yourself and don't overpay your hard earned money.

I don't think it's much of a problem with devices that use USB-C. I have never used the charging bricks that come with my devices, as I like to buy a faster charger that has two or three charging ports and get a long braided cable.
I think it'll be more of a problem for Apple users as it's still using the lightning cable.
If a lower price is reflected, then it's fine.
