Hi, I phoned Apple and was given the explanation about the new cable and the absence of the plug.
the plug I can understand as we all have a few of them around the home. My frustration comes when the new cable they supply needs an adapter. This in not sullied by Apple. I inquired about the cost of an adapter £35. The explanation I was given by Apple is these items that have been taken away from the new purchase is to help save the planet. What a load of rubbish, it’s to do with greed and profits which will always come before people. I’m disgusted with Apple. If they would have included the adapter that would be a different story, that I could understand. What they have done is try to hoodwink all their customers with the save the planet garbage.
