That would be zero.<snip>
Wonder how many people will actually NOT buy an iPhone 12 and switch to an Android phone because Apple doesn't include a charger......

Maybe Apple should just jack up their 5G phone price by $300 like Samsung did?
I am going by this video.
No 5w charger as far as I can see. Just lightning cable and headphones.
It doesn't have to be a charger from an iPhone, it can be any USB compliant charger. I'm pretty sure all non iPhones from recent years come with such chargers as well.
Totally agree. USB-C with fast data transfer, fast charge along with cable and charger. Over $1K for smartphone without charger and USB-C should be unacceptable. The lightning cable is beyond outdated now and so is the slow data transfer/sync with the lightning cable.Unacceptable. iPhone 12 needs USB-C, and it needs a charger in box. Nothing less.
That would be like dropping Public Beta Testers and Devs. Restoring and debugging over the Air is the pure hell.Well, if the rumours have any weight to them, Apple is in the process of eventually dropping the charging port from the iPhone altogether, so it makes little sense to transition to USB-C for a year or two.
And makes logistics easier. Don’t need separate skus for different chargers in different countries.glibly:
European Union:
"Companies need to unify charging standards to reduce waste"
Apple:
*removes charger to reduce waste*
But in all seriousness, whilst this move can easily seen as greedy, it will also let Apple reduce the price of their phone lines by $50 whilst still maintaining a perceived prestige price of the product. Obviously it remains to be seen if they chose to reduce the prices at all.
It also literally halves the packaging and shipping costs for hundreds of millions of units.
I guess you’re right, but the photo in the original post does show a usb-a cableNobody said it was going to be a USB-A cable.

True. Every other phone manufacturer is so charitable.
That is not a photo of an actual iphone 12 boxI guess you’re right, but the photo in the original post does show a usb-a cable
When have they ever used cost savings to raise their margin?We all know Apple won't cut the price of charger, but use this as a chance to increase their margin instead.
So no.
Next year, Samsung and Google do the same. Because, AirPods.If this is true I’m done with Apple.
If anyone tries to rationalize this you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Yes that’s what’s rumoured, same price and this might be whyYou think a new phone will have the same price?
I want a fast charger in the box for the price I pay, like the android phones. Apple sells these chargers already.
why the hell should I be using my last gen charger which charges at a much slower rate ? This is getting ridiculous with their nickel and diMing.
