The new iPhone 12 just announced will not contain a charger or headphones. Yes, at today's Event, the Cupertino-based company confirmed that the iPhone 12 does not contain a charger, but only a 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 will reduce up to 2 million metric tons of carbon emissions each year, the equivalent of 450.000 cars. Fantastic for the environment but I don't think it's the only reason. Because if it was, one accessory from each box devices should be reflected in 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?
