@dooBdoo   I wonder how many Keurig machines they have at Apple facilities spitting out used K-cups by the thousands?

I'm not sure why you pose this question to me, @Kachina624, but I guess you could ask Apple's employees.😊   If I sounded confrontational, then I didn't compose my post very well because that wasn't my intent.  I was simply responding with my perspective about Apple -- or any company -- and the benefits of this particular change.  I've never encountered any company that was perfect, and Apple, Samsung, or Amazon or any others are far from perfect.   But they all prominently publicize in their ads and websites and promotions the steps they take or propose to take, including in their workplaces, regarding environmental impact.   For all I know, some Apple or Samsung employees toss litter into parks... or worse.   Apple took this one step, it will reduce adding more disgusting kwap into our oceans, our world, and I'm glad they did.   Maybe others will follow suit.   Even small steps make a difference.  (Off my soapbox...  sorry, but perhaps this explains my view somewhat.)   I don't use Keurig, K-cups or anything of that nature, for what it's worth...  I've seen arguments pro and con.  I'm glad you're satisfied with your purchases.  It's good we all have choices, yes?  Take care, and be well and safe.🌻

@proudlyfromNJ   It's the principle of the thing.  Don't worry, I won't be buying it.  I'm a Samsung fan.  They include a charger.

@Kachina624

I thought Samsung would not provide a charger with the Note 20 ultra in August 2020. 

We will see what happens when the S21 phone is released in February 2021.

I do not have a problem buying a charger.

Before pre-ordering the iPhone 12, suggest you read the Oct 14th The Washington Post review article by BY GEOFFREY A. FOWLER.  Titled:  Is the iPhone 12 worth your money?

Just saying........

@Mz iMac    Thanks, but I won't be ordering an iPhone.

@Mz iMac

Thanks for the info from WP. LOL, I am a Samsung phone person.

DH and I just ordered two Samsung phones this week and they aren't 5G (won't see that or need that capability where I live for a minimum of five years why pay for it?).  What I want is a reliable phone that has internet and takes decent photos that's all!  Together our two phones cost less than $600 ( I'm happy).

I just pre ordered the iPhone 12, in the green.

I considered one of the pro models, but, I don't need them,and just too pricey.   

I Love the iPhone, I have, for years.  Although, my first smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy, and I liked it too.  I just prefer the iPhone. Personal choice.  

As for the charger, and earbuds, I so don't need them. I have plenty of chargers, and I use the Apple AirPods.

Go to ANY drugstore, grocery store or whatever and look at the tons of plastic body wash containers when bar soap would work and there would be almost no waste.

Look at the detergent bottles when we could have low-impact refills.  

Look at the waste pets create now that they didn't 50 years ago?  And we worry about a few small things.

I would be embarrased to pay those prices for a device that will be "obsolete" in 3 or 4 years. Ridiculous that people feel the need to carry these devices around 24/7.
