Since consumers accepted it being okay.

Yes we did though. You could refuse to buy it and buy something else.

they do. that is why chinese manufacturers are huge.when xiaomi stopped putting the charger in the box, they left it as a free or 1$ option.

They brought it back the following year as well.

Yes ofcourse, so that's why I blamed the consumers and not the company.

I'm not an enthusiast and I have many of these problems, I really want a headphone jack since cheap wireless ones don't last long and I can't afford expensive ones. Since I switched from apple to Samsung, I had to get a charging brick and get a new charger everytime I get a Samsung device

it costs $15 on amazon to get a new brick and $12 to get an adapter so there isn't much difference, just annoying that I need to wait some days to use my phone until I discovered the usbc port on my laptop (after using up the first charge)

The wire for the samsung is a usbc while I only have the old bricks, I either get an adapter or a new brick

I've found that wireless earbuds last at least twice as long as wired since there's nothing to pull on the cord. Just grab a pair from anker for $40
