Now you know why Apple is worth $2.08 trillion!   :D

I saw that on the Apple website and thought they were taking the proverbial at that price.  The point is that I don't really need one because I have a wireless charger for the phone.  I'm just bemused that they included a cable that won't even plug into my iPad charger. 

Simon:
I believe other phone manufacturers are also following suit.  I think perhaps it's not just to do with with costs, but also to try to stop people from disposing of old chargers when they can still be used.

They claim it's "greener" as there is less packaging and production required. Not so if you then have to order a new one separately as the old one is incompatible with the new cable.

Simon:
Very true.
