At the beginning, the manufacturers mocked Apple's decision to stop including a charger with the new iPhones, but as always - all the technology giants align themselves according to the trend: the last to officially announce the removal of the charger from the packaging is the fourth largest Chinese manufacturer in the world, OPPO, which, as I recall, is also sold in Israel as an official import of Ronlight .
During a launch event for the Reno8 series in Europe, Billy Zhang, OPPO's VP of sales, announced that starting next semester it will also stop supplying "a number of products". However, the VP did not specify which devices will receive the The limited packaging, so it is not possible to know if the flagship devices will also be in the supply chain.
"It's not so easy for consumers to get SuperVOOC [fast chargers] chargers, so we have to keep them in the box," said Billy Zhang, adding: "However, as we expand our business, we want to take the chargers out of the box and provide them in the store so that our users can buy the chargers and continue using them even when they upgrade their devices."

As mentioned, OPPO is not alone.
Many manufacturers have already removed the charger from the contents of their smartphone boxes, but most of them still provided a standard charger so far, so users can make use of a wide variety of chargers on the market - even if they are not original.
Also, Apple and Samsung do not place significant emphasis on high charging speeds, so any type of charger can be used - a few generations back.
