I'm just opposed to their brand ethos. They always complicate things in the name of simplicity.
apple mice have 1 button to click, and that this decision was made (in the 80s) because they thought 2 button mice would confuse the average user.
... and now apple users command + click all the time, like that isn't more complicated.
That's not why I hate apple, but it is why I hate apple. They perpetually put the cart before the horse.
"We stopped including a charger in the box to help the environment"
Actually this means more boxes are being created in total and this is worse for the environment. 🤦♂️
Edit: God you apple stans are annoying af. I guess y'all are just an extension of their obnoxious ethos lol.
How so? That thought only works if you think they still manufacture the same amount of chargers and package them. Which would be pretty dumb given that they aren’t guaranteed a sell. Also, who doesn’t have a bunch of different chargers already?
You can Google for the myriad of reports on this very topic.
Here's the top result.

Lots of ‘mights’ and ‘ifs’. No concrete evidence. Also they write that it might spread out across lots of manufacturers. And not only that, this is an article from when the iPhone 12 got released, which was the first to include a USB-C to lightning adding to the worry.
Again, you're free to use Google and continue your research yourself. There are lots of them. I took the top result, I didn't vet it because the mountain of evidence is overwhelming.
Cheers.
