Pixel 6 Charger

Hello, I just picked up my Pixel 6 yesterday and it's great, however, I have a question about the charger. I know it doesn't come with a wall charger but the cable is USB-C to USB-C (also expected) but there is one adapter: USB-A female to USB-C male. Surely this should be the other way around so I can plug it into existing wall chargers and reduce e-waste. Did I receive the wrong adapter or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @john7836

The adapter is to allow you to copy data from another phone, not for charging.

This may help explain: Pixel phones come with Quick Switch Adapter, can migrate data from another iOS or Android device
