That was a good change. I'd argue even removing the cable would be a good change. Less e-waste (even though releasing phones every year is e-waste enough).
The bad thing was Apple then selling a charger at extortionate prices, you didnt have to buy theirs though.
Xiaome did remove the charger from some of their phones, but they offered it as a free addition on their website for those who need it. For fucking free. I would have been ok with it if Apple or Samsung did that.
Apple's issue was they timed it around a shift to USB-C chargers. Their argument was everyone already had plenty of chargers, but no one had the new ones (well, some people did obviously but they hadn't gotten it with a previous iPhone). That's why they cop so much flak over it.
I agree that conceptually it's a good change, they just picked a bastard of a time to do it (one could argue that was deliberate of course).
