blu 10/13/20 2:14:51 PM #3:	Meh, a lot of products that come with USB cables dont come with a block. Though these are supposed to be luxury products, and buying a separate charger isnt really a good experience. But also most people have them already and really I have a bin of of them I dont want to toss but dont really want or need. I imagine many others do too and feel bad tossing them because they were manufactured and its a waste of the environment. Thats not a luxury experience either. I support the decision, cut down on waste. <cite>blu posted [p:945810122] in Apple is r... [t:79038011]...</cite> <quote>Meh, a lot of products that come with USB cables dont come with a block.
