“When the buying stops, the killing scalping can too.”

Apple : We will make you suckers pay rm109 for the new lightning cable for next year's iphone. We will be a gazillion dollar company soon We are not providing the cable to reduce carbon footprint this year.



Next step. We are not giving the box to save the forests.

Yes bro. Again, we should boycott the products of these greedy manufacturers to teach them a lesson. Instead of adding value to consumer purchases, they are short changing them. Instead of including the charging brick (which costs less than rm10 to manufacture), they are not including it in the purchase. Making you pay rm109 for one which comes in another box which actually amounts to more carbon footprint. By continuing to buy their products means we are supporting their greedy capitalist moves.

So yeah, not going to support them by buying their products.

I can't stop what others want to do with their money. But everyone should be a smart consumer rather than let these corporate companies push everything down our throats.

There are multiple brands that are coming up or already there to provide to consumers all they need in a smartphone. Xiaomi, Poco, Realme, ASUS and Vivo are already on the market providing best value for your dollar. There is basically nothing that the major players like Apple could provide that these brands can't. So by not providing the charging brick as per Apple and Samsung right now, they are actually short changing their customers instead. Since there are so many other brands which provides the charging bricks, it is imperative that smart consumers like us start looking at other brands as replacement, something that could give us the best bang for our buck.
By buying their stuff with the knowledge that they are shortchanging us is pretty much encouraging them to do so. As bold as Apple did, if consumers stopped buying their junk because of this, Apple will sure need to reconsider their decision. Sadly most Ifags chose to do otherwise instead.
