What are you talking about? The iPhone uses standard USB chargers, and the only non-standard part (a USB-to-lightning cable) can be purchased from third party manufacturers for less than $10.

Yes you can find micro-USB cables for less than $2, but I don't mind because the utility of the connector outweighs the small price premium. What do Dell chargers do to deserve a premium price?
