A gigantic wall of text just to say we don’t have free chargers for whatever reason. IMHO they totally miss the point of the controversy…

    I want to preface this by saying that I just wanted to share my own experience and point out that not everybody is in the same situation you’re in. You’re treating this like we’re having a debate, and I don’t really know why.

    You skipped the last question. In 10 years or whatever, when you buy another new phone/laptop/literally any electronic device, you’ll be able to charge it with the same charger you already have and won’t have another one filling up your drawers like I do.

    Well, maybe? Considering I only buy phones every 4 or so years, it’s not impossible by that point I’ll need an entirely different charger to get maximum charging speed. Either way, I currently only have the Steam Deck charger, so I’ll need to purchase some.

    Also didn’t reply to the bit about having an actually good and useful charger.

    We’re veering into the realm of the hypothetical since most phone manufacturers don’t include chargers any more, but certainly at least some manufacturers would include full speed chargers with their phones if that was still the trend. I know OnePlus already does, at least for some models?

      The vast majority of people are.

      You’re treating this like we’re having a debate, and I don’t really know why.

      Because I said they shouldn’t be included and detailed why, and you disagreed 🤷

      it’s not impossible by that point I’ll need an entirely different charger to get maximum charging speed.

      It is extremely unlikely that your new phone would consume more power than your “old as fuck” laptop or your Steam Deck charger. It is, however, extremely likely that your new faster-charging phone would require a faster charger than your previous phone would include.

      Yes and no. If they were required to, it’s very likely they would continue doing what they have been doing for decades.

      It really seems like you’re trying to plead the case for very obscure use-cases and not living in reality.
