      Well, this is reasonable IF the price of the phone reflects the ~$20 discount of no hardware. Bet you $20 it doesn’t lol.

          OR. The cell phone vendor gets a big box of chargers along with a consignment of phones. “Do you need a charger?” “Yes.” “Here you go.” “No I already have one.” “Okay, have a nice day sir.”

          Yes, if you also have to purchase a charger, which comes with its own packaging, especially if you order that charger for delivery, separate from the phone. But companies like to lie and say they’re excluding required peripherals for environmental reasons, when really it’s just another profit line on their balance sheet.

            If you buy a phone and the charger at the same time there is no extra packaging. The box that a charger comes in is such a tiny amount of “waste” it’s negligible.

            If you buy a phone the realise you don’t have a charger and order a charger for delivery then that’s on you.
