Fresh off of WWDC, looks like we got more info on Apple. This time around it is more so in the form of a rumor/analyst report from Ming-Chi Kuo. He states that last year might be the last time Apple will include EarPods & a power charging brick w/ their iPhones.
Based on his findings, Apple won’t include them on any of their 2020 iPhone models. There’s word that they’ll even remove it from the latest iPhone SE’s packing later this year as well. The alleged reason behind it is to offset the costs as the 2020 iPhones will offer more expensive 5G chips. So lack of the 2 in the packaging makes for a smaller box to reduce shipping costs & be more eco-friendly.
To go along w/ all of this, Apple is said to be working on a new 20W fast charger to ship w/ the new iPads. Kuo reports that they will bring us a 10.8inch iPad and an 8.5inch iPad mini early next year. These will both ship w/ the faster new charger. Apple currently ships a 15W charger w/ their iPhone 11 Pro line and a slower 5W charger w/ the standard iPhone 11s.
Will this keep you from picking up the 2020 iPhone is this actually happens?
