You were able to spin what would essentially be an obviously greed based decision to milk more cash from the users into a semi-believable ‘it’s actually for the user benefit’ story that apple is so renowned for like : no charger ? Think of the planet!, no sideloading ? It’s so big bad virus doesn’t get you! ,etc
It was just the only possible benefit I could think of. And even that’s flimsy
Sadly, that’s enough for most people. Some Apple fans were literally praising Apple for thinking about the planet by not giving them the better and faster charger because they already had the older, slower one at home. Then these same people would order the new faster charger that is then shipped to their home and comes in box full of plastic.
