At the end of June, the first rumors were documented that Apple wanted to deliver the iPhone 12 without a charging adapter and EarPods. This caused a lot of excitement. Now there is new evidence.
Apple has decided internally to only include the Lightning to USB-C cable with future iPhone devices. This is what some analysts and leakers are claiming. A slight price increase is also not out of the question. This news caused a lot of excitement. While part of the community welcomes this decision, there are some who are against it. Now the Taiwanese research company TrendForce has also spoken out and confirmed the rumor. TrendForce explainedthat the upcoming iPhone 12 models will be more expensive for Apple to manufacture due to 5G support. Removing the corresponding accessories is one way to reduce costs. At the same time, the Cupertino-based company plans to introduce a new 20-watt fast charging adapter.
iPhone 12: Apple's possible strategy also has advantages
However, this is to be sold separately. This rumor has also been confirmed by several voices, including the accurate analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In addition, there were also hints thanks to a database entry. There have also been comments in the past regarding the pricing of the iPhone 12 series. Kuo explained that the new generation will have a similar price level to the iPhone 11 series. If Apple does indeed reduce the number of accessories in the iPhone packaging, the packaging will be smaller. The company is expected to emphasize environmental aspects in the process. After all, slimmer packaging leads to less waste and lower emissions. This perspective should therefore not be ignored. Apart from that, analysts believe that the elimination of the EarPods will significantly increase AirPods sales. All in all, the topic remains exciting until the end.
