Huawei Might Follow Apple And Removes Chargers From Product Boxes

It looks like Apple is starting a new trend again. This time, it is the removal of the charger and the earbuds that come in the box of smartphones. After Apple removed the iPhone 12's charger and Earpods, Samsung will reportedly be doing the same with the Galaxy S21. And now, it seems like Huawei is also interested in taking a page from Apple’s book.

According to a new report, Huawei will also remove the charger that comes with its devices. The Chinese brand has been conducting a survey, asking consumers if they would be fine with a pair of wireless headphones not shipping with a Type-C cable.

Huawei also asked if ditching the charging cable would affect a user's purchase decision. And if the company removes the charging cable to reduce the price of the product, will they accept it.

Although Huawei did not mention smartphones in its survey, it seems that the Chinese manufacturer is following the same path as Apple and preparing its users for the upcoming changes.

Before deciding to remove the iPhone 12 charger and earphones, Apple also conducted a survey, asking its users what to do with the old chargers, followed by removing the charger for the Apple Watch S6 and Apple Watch SE, before discarding the charger from the iPhone 12 box.

Apple insists that the decision is for the sake of the environment, but there's no denying that the decision helps Apple cut production costs and increase sales of its AirPods headphones.

If both Huawei and Samsung are going to remove the charger from their product box, it won't be long before this will be the overall trend of the entire smartphone market. Just like the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack, which received lots of criticisms, but now has been the new standard.
