Apple conveniently didn't say that almost NOBODY had the properly sized intelligent PD charger that the expensive phone is capable of using.
If they're Apple customers, it would be 99.99% of the people because Apple has not supplied that PD charger in _any_ iPhone Apple has ever sold.
because people already had
a bunch of them from other devices.
Almost no-one had spare USB-C chargers given that very few Apple models -
nor many others - were sold with them at the time.
It's ridiculous what these low class Apple people put up with from Apple.
Who would be so low class as to use a 5W brick with a brand new thousand dollar iPhone? Nobody does that. Apple knows that nobody would do that.
It's like buying a new car and putting your old tires on it from the old
car (and then swapping the tires back & forth each time you use each car).
mini USB-A and USB-A yes, loads. USB-C nope.
Not only USB-C, but Apple has never supplied iPhone customers ever with the high-power PD chargers that the customer's expensive phone is capable of.
the message from consumers was very
clear that including yet another was wasteful.
Why is it then that almost every Android tablet & phone comes with it?
also, due to the proliferation of devices that charge via usb, many
people prefer to use chargers with multiple ports, which is much better
(and more economical) than individual chargers for each device, each
taking up a mains outlet.
Better still get USB sockets integrated into the power outlet so no mains
sockets are used up. Again USB-A was the norm and USB-C was hard to find.
It's still the exception rather than the rule.

It's not surprising but these Apple people have never heard of PD/QC standards since all they know about are the old Apple white 5W bricks.
Zero Apple customers had the right sized PD charger.
Everyone had to buy it.
Apple's added eWaste as a result is easily tremendous (when you include the Amazon shipping, the boxing, the deliver green house gas emissions, etc.).
Oh yes, and all that cardboard that Apple claims to have saved.
It took ten times more cardboard to have it shipped by Amazon to you.

Apple removed the charger for one reason and one reason alone. Profits.
The ewaste as a result is probably ten time more now that Apple removed the charger [as Apple's suggestion to share an old 5W brick is low-class slum].
Apple is clearly saying they believe their customers live in the projects (where they share an old 5W brick among all the family members' iPhones).
Apple removed the charger for one reason and one reason alone.
