You're an idiot, because you don't go after the car manufacturers. Every option they offer, has a huge markup. Hundreds if not thousands above the cost of manufacturing the items. Yet you don't complain when you overpay for options on cars, do you! Answer me on that.

Apple is offering a part for free, bundled in the box. Separately, it is a $9 item. Chump change. It wasn't offered before, and it is freely given now. So it is free! Free. Why can't you understand that? Either you have a specific agenda to target a single company, Apple, or you're an idiot. Take your choice.

You are either a weak-minded fool, or you are creating a mountain of disgust because you are an anti-Apple bigot. Pure and simple. So what is it? Idiot? or bigot?

The part is free, and nothing you say can alter that truth. Otherwise, you would chastise other companies who follow similar practices, yet you don't. Gotcha.

Everything you receive when you buy the iPhone 7 (or any phone), the phone itself, the charger, the earphones, the adapter, the box, the paper documentation, the services you receive after the purchase (updates, warranty, etc.) are all included in the price you pay.

Just because the various pieces you receive aren't priced separately doesn't mean you aren't paying for them. And my point is valid regardless of whether that adapter costs $0.09, $9.00, or $90.00.

In the world of consumer products, nothing is free.

You can insult me all you want, but in doing so, you are just making yourself look bad, just like the people who arrive with the "Apple is gay" comments.
