I'm not sure Apple should include for free a way to charge the device at it's optimal rate. I don't have a problem with a company charging a bit more for that option, after all you pay more to get more capacity on your iPhone and they don't include their most expensive Bluetooth headphones with

I applaud Apple for making this move and being more environmentally friendly, even if it also lines their pockets. I don't agree with the sentiment that people shouldn't be able to complain about this and should just be thankful for what they have though. Even though I don't agree with them,
