Never two without three. In recent days, many rumors surround the next iPhone 12 which should be released this fall. One of them, very persistent, predicts that the device could be sold delivered without a charger or earpods in the box. Only a USB-C to Lightning cable would be present at the time of purchase.
Of theBarclays bank analystsfirst anticipated this movement. They were subsequently joined by the Apple analystMing-Chi Kuo, who is often well informed about the Cupertino company. It is now the turn of a new insider to confirm this prediction. On his Twitter account@L0vetodreamexplain :
In my dream, the new iPhone will not be sold with the charger and headphones, this even applies to the iPhone SE2. The new packaging box becomes more slim and refined.
Some, on the contrary, announce the presence of a more powerful charger
Of course, it is impossible to be certain but this is starting to make many people, often well aware of what Apple is preparing, who are planning such a change. The company could rely on the environmental cause to justify this development. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, removing the headphones and the charger would allow the Apple brand to keep the same price for the iPhone 12 as for the iPhone 11.
But for customers who do not have these two accessories, significant additional costs would still be required. The iPhone 11 power adapter, for example, is now sold for €35.
These rumors are not the only ones to anticipate a change. Some paradoxically claim that Apple could not only keep a charger in the box but that it would even be20W, is more powerful than the previous one.
