Iphone bundles a slow charger in the box so it's better to get a third party one, and most people have a charger with fast charging support. Earphones were already discontinued, some people moved to tws but most are stuck with wired earphones. The only thing which actually matters is the lightening cable for people new to the IPhones, even tho I strongly suggest a third party cable like Amazon basics it lasted 4 years with me unlike the original cable from Apple.

Everyone else upgrading to the iPhone 12 will have to buy the 20w charger separately. How is that helping to reduce waste? Just seems like a cash grab by Apple.

T... moreExcept that most iPhone buyers are already existing iPhone owners who upgrade, meaning they already have a cable and a charger, the goal is to reduce cost by removing things the users already own.
                  I would prefer Android phones to do the same, using universal charging tech like QuickCharge or even all cooperating into an OpenCharge rather than being only for, as usual, proprietary tech, and leave the user decide what charge he gonna guy and use, and for those already having USB-C charger who come with USB Power Delivery or any other OpenCharge compatible chargers, simply avoid wasting money on something they already own.
                  Same with all the earphones and earbuds that for the latter cost a lot and that many buyers never use, I hate things going into my ear, I LARGELY prefer headsets.
                  This would also stop this jack removal madness.

                  Free stuff ? What planet are you coming from ? We practice capitalism here, if you want free stuff, you first gotta remove capitalism for something better.
                  And if something is "free", then YOU are the product, don't be fooled.

                    I don't care about the 1 side usb-c part, but it's nice to see someone bundling some quality braided cables for once.

                      No charger, no type C converter, no cable, no earphones, no case.

                      This is why earlier they announced Apple was selling for 100$ less than previous years models.
                      As usual, you never get free goodies.
                      So the 640$ 5.4 inch model iphone will technically cost you 800$ after buying all these things which are usually shipped With Android flagships.
                      As usual, people will get fooled into thinking it's cheap.

                              What about the recyclability? These nylon braidings are indestructible.

                                  They could do what they want and they'll still get away with it. Like putting up a new wireless system and call it redtooth or something. Press and consumer will shout innovative.

                                    Rather than enforcing USB, the EU should enforce magnetic connector that would be both compatible with USB (all norms) and Lighting, with adapters and dedicated cables that would allow for an even newer norm mixing all good aspect of those two + some of the latest creations, it would make for an awesome future !
                                    Exemple : https://i.imgur.com/nOcG7jl.png

                                    Physical ports are doomed to disappear, but flat connectors can still keep the legacy of the practicality and retrocompatibility of other norms while having all advantages of both, the same apply for the Jack port where a connector could easily replace it rather than stupidly removing it :

                                      More like a third party cable. Knowing Apple don´t get hopes up.

                                        Finally you can pay $99 for an innovation called braided cables, the first in an apple device.
