It seems like OEMs are becoming brave enough to stop bundling a USB charging cable in their phone’s packaging.

    I’m honestly not sure (given the price the cable likely adds to the price of the device vs the quality/longevity of the cable) that I want it. Apple has been notorious for selling their charging cables at a premium while making them basically as cheaply as possibly. Other companies have literally made their brand on being better than the OEM cables and chargers you get with devices.

    Other phone manufacturers aren’t exempt from the phone cable failure thing either. It’s crazy to me that they were allowed to sell such shoddy accessories in the first place.

    When you add in the ways that countries are trying to cut down on e-waste I can’t say I’m surprised.
