The new iPad Pro and iPad Air no longer come with chargers, at least in Europe.
In addition to the EU countries, the new iPad Pro and iPad Air Sold without charger in the UK.. This is because, as the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive came into force before Brexit, it still applies in this territory.
