IPHONE WILL LIKELY SHIP WITHOUT USB CHARGER & EARPODS IN 2020: WHY?

Rumors are soaring high in the air indicating the iPhone 12 would not come with a new charger or pair of headphones. However, it is unannounced yet.

Several indications are implying that Apple won’t ship iPhone 12 with a pair of headphones and a charger. However,  all these indications are based on only some rumors, but volume and validity of sources are making it difficult to ignore such rumors.

Apple has always been shipping iPhone with its latest EarPods and a new charger. These EarPods became very much vital when the company decided to ship phones without any headphone jack. The importance of these EarPods also increased as it became the first headphone device to be equipped with a cable that has lightning.

Now, with the announcement of iPhone 12  is looking imminent in the coming two months, rumors are sounding more authentic than ever before. According to the research notes, it is appearing that Apple is not going to ship any headphones or charger. The box will be shipped with the smartphone and the USB-C cable connected to the power adapter traditionally. Since Apple has yet not announced anything regarding iPhone 12 and so it is obvious it declined to comment on the issue.

iPhone 12: Why it would not come with EarPods and a charger

It is easy to become cynical about the latest information. The whole scenario is interpreting itself as the company is planning to release a high end and sophisticated phone during the ongoing disease outbreak. Apple has the plans to incorporate 5G technology along with a LiDar scanner, perhaps. The device can become the set up for the next generation of smartphones potentially. Moreover, the company is going to incorporate into the phone everything that is required to compete with other companies that have already launched their flagships in the year 2020.

So, the first thing is that the company can’t compromise with the device hardware and software looking over the competitiveness of the market. Second, raising the price of the new device is not the solution looking at the economic struggle prevalent worldwide due to the ongoing situation. The company can’t raise the price of its device over $ 1,000 if it wants to remain justified in such an economic scenario. The company is left with no other choice rather than removing things from the phone package. Also, the decision will set the stage for the company to sell EarPods and the charger separately. In -fact, the information given by Kuo has mentioned that there will be a charger of 20W  that will be sold separately when the phone is launched.

The whole story is looking somewhat true, but there are also some other reasons behind this route that Apple can take. If we ignore the potential greed of the company, then it is also good for environmental health if the company will ship chargers in fewer numbers. According to the story published by the Verge, the smart device chargers produce about 300,000 tons of estimated e-waste every year. Every year, companies made almost a million tons.

So, even though the disastrous impact of these chargers on the environment and astronomy is ignored, it can’t be ignored that most of these smart device users already own compatible chargers. There are perhaps billions of users who have already compatible chargers as the iPhone 12 is not going to be their first smartphone. For many users often got confused about what to do with so many chargers resulting in plastic chunks.

Overall, if Apple will set a new standard by selling its new flagship iPhone 12 without any  EarPods and a charger, previously, Apple successfully sold its smartphone without a headphone jack. Moreover, it is not the first time that any company is taking such a decision. Many companies sell their electronic products in the market without power supplies as these often use common chargers. For example, 3DS XL is sold by Nintendo in the USA without any power supply. Nintendo cited that it is needed to cut the costs on the product. Also, the users who purchase the device have previously purchased its other versions, and so they already have the chargers. So, clearly it is not affecting the sale of 3DS and so Apple will also be fine with its decision.

Karen Jodes  technology world you see how that guy’s facebook page is completely public? how even if you are NOT signed into facebook it takes you directly to his profile info? well, i am trying to achieve that, but no matter how many times i mess around with the security settings it doesn’t work. i want it so that even if people DO NOT have a facebook account they can easily see my wall and profile info. i have no idea how to do this through the regular privacy section. i googled facebook and privacy and all that comes up is some stuff I already tried.
