Apple isn’t alone in not providing chargers. My S23 Ultra didn’t have one in the box.

But your S23 Ultra also uses the most common cable type for a charger. That isn’t proprietary. That you likely already have a good several of.

  1. If by “charger” you mean the brick that plugs into the wall, which I hope you do because it’s the only thing that Apple omits from the box, then Apple also uses that same cable type (USB type C). It’s only the other end of the cable that is proprietary. And the cable itself is included with the phone.

  2. All of this is moot for the iPhone 15 pro and non-pro which are fully USB type C.

Wait… Wait, what? The new apple type-c cable has a proprietary end to it?

What the actual fuck? It’s not just the standard USB-A? WHY?
