When we look at the characteristics of the new Apple Watch Series 6, we realize that it is indeed goodmore efficientthan the previous generation. Indeed, inside, we find a blood oximeter, an S6 processor while the screen can now remain on permanently just like the altimeter. But these are not its only advantages.
Thus, you only have to pay “only”429 eurosto treat yourself to the latest edition of the iPhone accessory, while the Series 5 sold until Tuesday for a minimum of 449 euros, excluding discounts and promotions. Often accused of charging too much for its products (and more and more over time), the Apple brand therefore seems to have chosen to reverse the trend this time. But what could explain such a change in strategy?

Goodbye charger!
In reality, it is likely that these figures can be explained simply because Apple has chosen to stop delivering a power adapter with its connected watch. On its official website, the firm speaks here of an objective “environmental“, it is therefore difficult to know if this is truly the price modification factor.
The other potential reason may be behind Daisy's efforts. This disassembler robot works at Cupertino and is responsible for recycling faulty or returned devices as part of the company's reconditioning program. And since the Apple Watch Series 6 has exactly the same design as the Series 5 (hello iPhone SE), in addition to less engineering time, its chassis may require fewer raw materials. Especially since the manufacturer often specifies, particularly for its computers, to userecycled aluminum.

The iPhone 12 too?
Apple's next smartphone, which should be available in four different versions including oneminietandPro Max, could also be soldwithout charger. In any case, this is what many rumors published here and there by analysts or insiders in recent weeks suggest.
If so, thenthe price of the iPhone 12is also likely to see itself reduced, even if the rumors in the corridors contradict each other here too. Many indeed suggest that once again,Apple would take advantage of this to increase the prices of its mobiles, while reducing battery capacity according to other sources. Which should nevertheless be compensated by an OLED screen and software, iOS 14, both optimized to consume less energy.
However, if the iPhone 12 AND the Apple Watch Series 6 find themselves without a charger... We may have tobuy an extra one, then for around fifty euros or more to benefit from rapid nutrition. It could then be the famousAirPower charger, working with induction technology. An effective solution to easily sell more, like the abandonment of the jack port which may have benefited the marketing of AirPods.
