The earpods should not be provided with the iPhone 14

French deputies have just passed a new law. Aimed at reducing the ecological footprint of the digital market, which buries the obligation that mobile manufacturers still have to provide a pair of wired headphones with their device, better known as “hands-free” kit. A decision which should undoubtedly do the Apple affair, for whom France is still today the only region to be automatically entitled to the earpods.

Earpods are a pair of wired earworks also available in separate purchase for nineteen euros (a reasonable price, for once). On the other hand, no intrauricular format: it is therefore better not to call on this accessory in the event of intense movements. Resistance to water or dust is also not the game either. However, there are two buttons for setting the volume, rather practical in the absence of tactile settings as onThe latest airpods.

An iPhone 14 quasi right?

Logically, it is therefore supposed to estimate that Apple could take advantage of this legislative change to choose not to include the earpods in the housing of its mobile phones. It is true that they will probably prefer their wireless alternatives, whose collection is more and more completeWith now even a helmet, without counting of course the Beats range.

If it is indeed the strategy that the apple were to adopt, it would not be a first one anyway. The headphones have not been delivered with the iPhone for a long time in most countries, the Jack port having also been removed from the hulls. Even the charger, which the manufacturer also considers there as an additional waste generator, recently experienced the same fate both with the flagship smartphone of Apple as with its Watch.

The waves would not be dangerous

Another motivation of elected officials would be that "International expertise bodies, such as the World Health Organization, have so far refuted the existence of a cause and effect link established between exposure to electromagnetic fields produced by mobile phones and chronic pathologies“Or when it is also good to remember that no evidence has never been brought about possible harmful consequences of 5G for health.
