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

Or for all we know, Apple just changes the packaging and included accessories of the SE after a certain cut-off date.

Personally, I wouldn't mind swapping the bundled lightning cable and 5w charger for a usb-c to lightning cable.

We really don't know where Apple is going with this.

Speculation is half the fun.

They should give people an option of either getting a charger added to their order or getting a discount on the phone for not getting it.

If this rumor is true, that is effectively exactly what they're doing.

Is it funny that the iPhone SE is $399 and includes the adapter and the more expensive iPhone 12 will not have one?

It makes sense. Those who will be dishing out big bucks for the iPhone 12 aren't going anywhere. Apple could sell them a phone without a screen (for the same high price) and charge extra for it and they would buy it.

For the iPhone SE, not so much... it is very price-sensitive.

No charger is alright on one condition: that the price of the phone goes down by the price of the charger, AUD29. The only way it would be fair.

The price of the iPhone may not be raised. That’s in effect a price drop.
