    Um, never?

    I’ve lost chargers on several occasions, and I’ve switched from older ones to newer ones for faster charging, but the older ones still work as spares.

    Cables, on the other hand…

    Not often. I still use ones from 10 years ago. The only reason I typically buy a new one is because I’m relying more and more on USB C charging and things like my Steam Deck and laptop require a relatively high wattage

    I only replace them if they break, are lost or new technology comes out that makes sense to upgrade to. I think if you stick to that you can avoid making ewaste

    As often as the previous charger’s tech becomes obsolete.

    Slightly off topic, but if you’re staying at a hotel and forget your charger, go to the front desk and ask if they have any extras. People tend to leave them behind, so the hotel usually has spares.

    Best to go with chargers with replaceable cables. If you do that, I don’t see any reason the charger shouldn’t outlive the phone.

    Not often. I honestly have never had a charger break on me. I know my friends often destroy their cables though. Invest in a good multiport 100W charger. My personal favorite is the Aukey Omnia line of chargers. They’re quite compact for the amount of ports and wattage they deliver.

    I take good care of my chargers, and I have never had a single one break. I really only plug my device in before bed.
