Samsung just needs to shut the fuck up. They're worse than Apple by a fucking mile. They make fun of them for something then turn around and do it next month. Fuck off with this shit. They removed the headphone jack, the charger from the box and the SD card slot. Samsung sucks more than Apple.

Is removing the charger from the box such a bad thing? I've already got a box full of them in addition to the ones scattered around the house and with how many electronic devices we use I doubt that is a uncommon position to be in

That was a good change. I'd argue even removing the cable would be a good change. Less e-waste (even though releasing phones every year is e-waste enough).
The bad thing was Apple then selling a charger at extortionate prices, you didnt have to buy theirs though.

Xiaome did remove the charger from some of their phones, but they offered it as a free addition on their website for those who need it. For fucking free. I would have been ok with it if Apple or Samsung did that.

Apple's issue was they timed it around a shift to USB-C chargers. Their argument was everyone already had plenty of chargers, but no one had the new ones (well, some people did obviously but they hadn't gotten it with a previous iPhone). That's why they cop so much flak over it.

I agree that conceptually it's a good change, they just picked a bastard of a time to do it (one could argue that was deliberate of course).
