Re: What's the actual *advantage* of not having an sd slot?

Hi Arno,

I'm being nice when I inform you that not all chargers are the same.
There's a concept of Wattage and Protocol (PD/QC) that you need to learn.

Without explaining Wattage to you, and without explaining protocols to you,
I will make the logically sensible argument below only about the Wattage.

As you may be aware, I'm on Amazon Vine, so I get all my chargers free.
 <https://amazon.com/vine/about>
None are below 20-Watts. Some are 30-Watt, 45-Watt, 60-Watt & 100-Watts.

The point is that everyone has 5-Watt chargers but they're useless.
You can't charge a new iPhone at the speed you paid for, with 5 Watts.

You just can't.

You can't even find your old 5-Watt chargers on Amazon Vine - anywhere.
Why not?

Nobody wants them.
They're worthless.

Let's say you give that old phone to someone else, where you would
naturally give them the charger that charges that old phone, right?

 
No, I wouldn't, because the charger did not come with that old phone in
the first place and I wouldn't give it to anyone, since I still need it.

If Apple didn't brazenly lie that the *reason* they removed the 20-Watt
charger from the box was because they wanted to be green, then it wouldn't
be a big deal that Apple brazenly lied and expected you to believe it.

When Apple lies to you that brazenly, they're saying they think you're
stupid. And if you believe Apple's brazen lies, then you are stupid.

Which is the point.
The point isn't the 20-Watt charger didn't come with the phone.
The point is Apple lied about being green.

It's not green to force everyone to buy a 20-Watt charger when at that time
almost nobody had 20-Watt (or higher) chargers lying around the house.

The fact is that if you bought 5 iPhones, you'd need five new 20-Watt or
better chargers just to charge the phones at the speed you paid for.
