The new iPhone 12 just announced will not contain a charger or headphones. Yes, at today's Event, the company from Cupertino confirmed that the iPhone 12 will not contain a charger, but only one cable.
Why; But of course for the good of humanity!
Apple removes chargers from its phones to reduce the ecological footprint created by e-waste accessories.
The company said it would reduce up to 2 millions metric tons of carbon emissions each year, which equates to 450.000 cars. Fantastic for the environment but I don't think it's the only reason. Because if it were, the one accessory from the box of each device should be reflected in the price.
So good for the environment? or a bigger profit margin for Apple? I will not answer the question, but I will go a little further.
Apple is the first major company to remove the charger and headphones. What do you say others will follow?
