That's the phone cord.
Wow, thats wild, why would you charge a phone with a weird curly cable?
The curls make the electric go faster!
The coiled form makes it somewhat retractable. If you have the phone earpiece on the phone itself, the coil makes for basically a 6 inch (15cm) curly cord, but you can still bring the phone up to maybe 6 times the length, nearly 1.1 yards (1m).
It's common for signal cables that don't carry much power.
I kid, I am old enough to have grown up with those.
