Kuo: iPhone 12 Models Won't Include Charger in Box, 20W Power Adapter Will Be Sold Separately

[ghanwani]

Well, if true, that makes it easy - I won’t buy a new phone.

For how long?

 

[vasim]

For how long?

means new iPhone

 

[JPSaltzman]

And of course the base price will increase by $100 -- at the very least.

Just pure Greed these days.

 

[hrpuffnstuff]

iPhone 15 will be sold prebroken as a you fix it yourself model

 

[skari]

Charger will be in the box, power brick won’t be.

I agree the USB standard is more universal than a standard wall sokket, can be used universally in any country unlike the power brick.

 

[ConfusedChris]

Are you all telling me you don’t have a charger?
At check out: “Do you have a charger or would you like to buy one?”
Sounds sensible to me.

Well no the point is this is one of the reasons why price is staying the same

There will be a 5G iPhone 5.4 inch for 700$ Something got to give. Someone asked if a company sold electronics without a charger. I bought the flagship headphones WH-1000mx3 at 350$ and it did not come with a charger. And I could not care less.

When I think about it, most of the stuff I buy comes with a cable and no AC adapter.

 

[cmaier]

My Tesla didn't come with a charger, either, and it cost, what, 70-80 iPhones?

 

[sterlingindigo]

Ridiculousness and shamelessness. Wireless is only rumored (again).

um, what?

 

[naturalstar]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLLLL!

Whew!

BWAAHHHAAAAAAHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

<Fits of coughing>

Some of y’all still don’t know Apple... wait til the new ARM Macs show up...

 

[tranceking26]

I trust this guy more than barclays but still think this is a load of rubbish.

 

[Homme]

First of all I am totally in favour of no wall chargers included.... if it was the 5w ones that is

but yeah i get where people are going here

 

[Christian 5G]

and also $300 price increase

Can't wait to choose every piece that iPhone comes with today separately for cost including the box haha. Then everybody else follows because it's Apple.

 

[4jasontv]

That's because you don't move large appliances around.

Not really sure why that would matter. But I disagree. Mine move every 12 to 36 months.

 

[adamjackson]

If the price drops $58 and they ditch EarPods and a charger, that'd be great.

 

[ghanwani]

My Tesla didn't come with a charger, either, and it cost, what, 70-80 iPhones?

That's because it comes with everything needed to plug into a standard wall socket.

If you're old enough to remember the launch of 3G and 4G networks and the service charges for the nonexistent coverage, you should be wise enough to know to skip the first 5G iPhone.

Ever try charging a Model S from a standard wall socket? It’s like pissing into a hurricane.

 

[JamesTheo]

Insane. apple has become just a phone company and they can't even do that right.

 

[roar08]

If they do this, I will not buy an Apple charger when I will need one. I will purchase and aftermarket charger.

"To the streets!"

 

[egeek84]

This is completely unacceptable!! Earpods I can understand (even though i'm not a fan of) but the charger? No Apple, what are you thinking? When I buy a TV, do I have to buy the remote seperately? DO NOT GO FORWARD WITH THIS IDIOCY!!!!

Their phones are great. They are doing fine.
