I think this is a fair move.
Perhaps they should offer both versions?
One with the headphones and charger and one without?
I'd think they are doing their small part in generating less e-waste.
When you buy a cellphone, it is given, that you need a charger, so either they supply a suitable unit or you go and buy one. Without a charger, a cellphone is about as useful as tits on a boar.
My "take on this" is not ,that they " doing their small part in generating less e-waste" but actually it's "profits " that count ..!!
Now add to this ( no charger etc ) ,that apparently only the S21 Ultra will most likely have S/D card slot..??
