Apple recently launches the latest lineup of its iPhone and the company has made some omissions that have annoyed its fans.
Inside the box of iPhone 12, 12 Pro, Pro Max, and Mini, there are the handset itself and a USB-C to Lightning Cable, with no earphones or charger.
This move will definitely make life harder for those who have never used iPhones before. The device needs charging to work and they will have to buy the accessory separately.
Samsung, its Android rival has taken this opportunity to mock Apple for not including a charger, and recently, Xiaomi jumps on the bandwagon by flaunting the accessory that comes with all of its smartphones.
OnePlus follows suit with its own dig.
Apple said the move to omit the charger is driven by a green cause. According to the Cupertino tech giant, the change will reduce more than 2 million metric tons of annual carbon emissions, an equivalence of the removal of 450,000 cars.
While this explanation makes sense, it’s hard not to think about what Apple will gain once it no longer have to include a charger in the box of every device in the iPhone 12 lineup.
