I am US.  Got my wife an iphone 5s back in April and it had the lightning cable but no wall adapter.  The two Samsung phones I purchased this year both had wall adapters as well as the cords.  I think a lot of companies are flirting with the idea of removing some of these items, especially as they continue to get further saturated with upgraders as opposed to initial adopters.

Something must be wrong or maybe they tried it and failed, but the usb wall adapter is supposed to be included in the box. Apple even lists it as part of what's included.

Entirely possible they just gave me a box that they were using the ac adapter from for the display piece or something similar then.  Funny though, at the time I just assumed it was their way of cutting costs.  Also, since we already have 4 chargers from Apple, didn't think it was a big deal.  I just changed out one of the older cords with the lightning cord on an adapter and off I went.

Wouldn't really effect me either as I already had one, but for first time customers it would be an inconvenience. That's really what this whole thing is about. Well, maybe people who do trade ups too since those usually require the adapter, which would leave you without one.
