  Because Walmart and dollar store cords are of equal quality?

  But wouldn't it be equally valid to frame it the other way around that so far we have paid for them to be included, whether we like it or not?

  But then you have it. Sell it, put it in another room, give it away. They should lower the phone price by the amount of whatever they charge for the charger. They should also give buyers the option to have it included or not, especially in this economy.

  That said, one thing that OEMs never say out publicly is that they are also saving a ton of money by retaining their device's price tag and still ditching accessories in the process.

  I guessed so.

  I don't think it was made to usher in utopia, but dystopian nightmare seems likely.

  They need to move to or at least join mastodon. Bluesky is corporate.

  Right, like I was paranoid over facial recognition and Whatsapp when meta bought it.

  We'll be at the disadvantage of Nazis and palantir.

  I was going by the unlimited plan, but a friend sent me the link and while I like the theory of supporting a company that gives back, I use a prepaid for affordability.

  Hmm, I've never used at&t mobile, but this pricing may be comparable? https://www.credomobile.com/plan/
