They no longer do so citing the waste where many people have collected them over the years. I have maybe 8 Apple USB-A or USB-C power adapters in my home.

As part of our efforts to reach our environmental goals, iPhone models no longer include a power adapter in the box. iPhone continues to work with existing power adapters and USB-A to Lightning cables, such as those included in prior models. iPhone models now include in the box a newer USB‑C to Lightning cable that supports fast charging and is compatible with USB‑C power adapters and computer ports that you might already have. You can use either a USB-A to Lightning cable or the newer USB-C to Lightning cable with your iPhone.


If you have any existing USB-A power adapter with suitable cables, and/or a USB-A plug to USB-C socket adapter, that should work. You're not obligated to use Apple's power adapters either.
