Apple may not include a charger with the iPhone 12 series
Ironically, last year starting with the iPhone 11 Pro series, the company finally included an 18W fast charger in the box after making users pay $ 29 for one since Apple offered fast charging with the iPhone 8 line. 18W load brick allows iPhone 11 Pro Max to charge from 0% to 50% in just thirty minutes.
This is the legitimate 20W Apple charger that will not be found inside the box of any iPhone 2020 model
According to 9to5Mac, Apple started sending a survey to iPhone users. With the survey, Apple notes that “the USB charger is used for charging using a wall outlet. You can plug the charger into an iPhone with a separate charging cable.” Apple then asks respondents to choose one of the six options to explain what happened to the charger used with their previous iPhone unit when they updated their phone. Options include:
- 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 don’t use it.
It seems clear that Apple is collecting this data to help you decide if you can get away with leaving the earbuds and charger ready for use on upcoming iPhone models. Some analysts believe Apple is removing EarBuds to generate more revenue for the firm’s popular Bluetooth Wireless AirPods headphones. The latter is the most popular wearable device in the ear in the world and belongs to the fastest growing business segment of Apple, Wearables, Home and Accessories. That unit generated $ 6.28 billion in revenue during the second fiscal quarter that included the three-month period from January to March. The growth of this business unit during the second fiscal quarter of 2020 amounted to 22.4% and devices in this category include the most popular watch in the world, the Apple Watch and the aforementioned AirPods.
Apple is looking for evidence that iPhone 11 Pro users will retain their 18W bricks even if they upgrade to new models. In this way, Apple can claim they can get away with leaving the chargers out of the box because no one really needs them.
Rumors about what Apple might include or leave out of the iPhone 12 case come as speculation arises about the case itself. Earlier this month, we aired a particular rumor asking Apple to pack its first iPhone 5Gs. inside a “slim” and “exquisite” box. When we can see that shipping the box begins is the big question because of the pandemic. As we told you earlier today, The company that provides Apple with the high-quality lenses for the iPhone 12 Pro’s cameras is expected to deliver these components to Apple’s contract assemblers four to six weeks late. As a result, the iPhone 12 series may not launch until November. You can blame the COVID-19 pandemic that diverted Apple’s supply chain from its regular schedule.
