14 DAY TRIAL // Apple’s upcoming iPhone 12 will obviously come with a series of major improvements, including 5G support across the entire lineup.
But at the same time, it’s also expected to introduce a rather controversial change: a charger would no longer come in the box, pretty much forcing buyers to spend extra for it.
Up to this point, however, all these details are based on unconfirmed rumors, as Apple itself has obviously tried to remain tight-lipped on everything related to the iPhone 12.
But a leaked iPhone 12 box coming via Concepts iPhone could set this straight in this regard, as it confirms that there’s no room for a charger because of a slimmer design.
In other words, the iPhone 12 box will be smaller than it was before, and this happens because there’s no need for extra room since a charger won’t be offered anyway.
Existing iPhone owners not affected
As for Apple’s questionable choice of not offering a charger in the box of the iPhone 12, it all seems to be based on the company’s attempt to keep the price at the same level as in the past despite the addition of new groundbreaking tech.
For example, all models in the iPhone 12 lineup are expected to come with 5G support, and this will obviously include the price of the new-generation devices. But by removing the charger from the box, Apple might actually be able to maintain the current price points of the iPhone for this new series.
Of course, existing Apple customers already owning an iPhone with a charger that shipped in the box wouldn’t be affected unless they want to sell or give the device to somebody else. In this case, purchasing a charger is pretty much the only way to go if they intent to purchase a new-generation iPhone.
