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

    Weren’t we already pissed and over it like 5-10 years ago? Why is this coming up again?

    This is one of those “issues” I feel like only people with way too much time on their hands care about, and that’s coming from someone with way too much time on their hands.

      Also ignorant people care about it. Somehow thinking that cable is meant for that phone specifically or something like that. Source: Worked in retail

        Had a guy on eBay wanting me to overnight a long outdated Fast Ethernet (10/100) switch because theirs had died. I was too late to get the message and lost the sale. Wrote him back saying any switch would work. NOPE. Had to be replaced with the exact model.
