Apple recently began sending surveys to iPhone users about how they use the USB charger that comes in the box. This comes before the iPhone 12 announcement later this year and also rumors that Apple doesn’t include the USB charger and EarPods in the box for the first time.
The survey asks users what they did with the USB charger on their old iPhone after replacing it with a new model, so Apple is targeting people who were already iPhone users and recently bought a new one.
Apple also explains that the survey refers to the USB power adapter and not the Lightning cable.
The USB charger is used to charge using a power outlet. You can plug the charger into an iPhone with a separate charging cable.
The survey includes a series of checkboxes with multiple possibilities on how consumers use their iPhone chargers, including:
- I sold or exchanged it with my iPhone
- I lost it
- I gave it to a family member or friend
- I still use it at home
- I still use it outside (at work, school or other places)
- I still have it, but I don’t use it
This is not the first time that Apple has asked users what they think about its products. The company once sent out a survey about having a headphone jack on MacBook Pro, but the laptop still has the jack. Still, it’s interesting to know that Apple is asking users about the iPhone’s USB charger just as there are several rumors that it was removed from the box.
You can see the screenshot of the survey shared by user @Gunstaxl on Twitter (in Portuguese, which we translated here) below:
