Another peculiarity of this year, in addition to the delay in launch due to the pandemic, is that all four devices go on sale without a charger and without other secondary components in the box.

And although the absence of headphones (even cable) has no longer surprised anyone for several years, the lack of such a vital accessory as a charger has attracted the attention of many, even the rivals of the Apple company, who have not thrown I miss the opportunity to troll the industry giant.

The multinational Samsung, based in Seoul, South Korea, did not miss the opportunity to add fuel to the fire with a publication along the same lines.

minutes after the Apple presentation began.

Why did Apple remove the charger from the iPhone 12?

Tim Cook’s company justified its decision to leave secondary accessories out of the new iPhone’s packaging by claiming its respect for the environment and its efforts to reduce carbon emissions. In fact, the measure will extend to all Apple phones on sale., which from now on will no longer include both the charger and the headphones.
