Sony became the world's first major OEM to ship smartphones without USB-C cables
The latest Sony Xperia 10 VII does not even come with a USB-C cable, nor does it come with a bundled charger. It only comes with manuals and a phone inside the box.
This also makes Sony the world's first major OEM to ditch bundling USB-C cable with a smartphone, even beating Apple. However, Apple is not far behind tho as the latest Airpods 3 Pro and Airpods 4 also don't feature USB-C charging cable, so expect Apple to follow soon for iPhones as they first ditched charger with the iPhone 12 in 2020.
The reason to remove USB-C remains the same like that for chargers, i.e. its "better for the environment
