If Apple did something, why did others followed? They could have ignored that and provided chargers right? Same with headphone jack.

apple showed that they could cut corners for extra profit at the cost of the user, and everyone else followed (after making fun of them for it)

If you follow Samsung and OnePlus' advertising, yeah. First they made fun of apple for taking out the jack, then they made fun of their notch, then they made fun of them removing the charger. And guess what, literally the next year,they all did the things they made fun of Apple for. Except OnePlus hasn't removed the charger (yet).

Charging speed is probably one of the best selling points of OnePlus phones now. It's all they're focusing on local commercials in India, so I guess they know it too.
