The amount of packaging required for me to buy the additional equipment I need to use my iPhone. All of this would have come in the phone’s box five years ago but Apple decided to stop including them to cut down on packaging and waste.
The saddest thing about this is that once Apple does it, other manufacturers follow. Just take a look at what happened to the headphone jack, or even how newer (high-end) Samsung and Xiaomi phones aren't including chargers in their boxes anymore.

Apple makes decisions for one reason, profit.
Edit: to everyone who says all companies are only in it for one reason, profit are wrong.
Bombas socks Tom’s shoes Patagonia Ever lane clothes Any food co-op Chick-fil-A helps pay employees education Costco pays 15$/hour
All of these companies are in it to profit, but NOT ONLY PROFIT.

Correction, Apple decided to cut down on cost. Purely profit driven decision
