Apple Continue slowly but steadily removing the cables around the iPhone. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, 2020 aims to be the first year in which the iPhone without charger in the box. And neither headphones.
So they point it now several sources They collect the latest report from the connected Asian analyst. If true, this prediction could result in less waste generated, at least for those who already have an alternative to these accessories. And also, in the smallest iPhone case in history.
Forgetting the adapter would bring 5G at the price of 4G, or almost
This measure could also come as a move that would allow the expected iPhone 12 keep your price without major changes with the arrival of 5G connectivity and OLED screens for all models. Recall that for September 2020 up to 4 new iPhones are expected, including a new, smaller version of the basic iPhone 12. Other manufacturers on Android, such as Xiaomi or OnePlus, have seen 5G as the opportunity to increase its price by hundreds of euros.
Despite having introduced fast charging with the iPhone X As early as 2017, Apple still included a modest 5W charger alongside its smartphones more basic – on the iPhone 11 Pro yes began to include himself the 18W adapter. This charger would no longer be included at the time of purchase, so you could either opt directly for the quick charger, use other adapters from previous generations or a wireless charger.
This strategy is the one that already applies with the Apple Watch, which comes with a small magnetic USB charger but without a power adapter of any kind. He total cost of matching accessories so far included in the box, however, would reach the not inconsiderable figure of 54 euros. That would be 64 in the case of opting for the charger with the highest power.
This measure would also align with promoting the adoption of wireless headphones such as new AirPods and AirPods Pro. After removing the headphone port on iPhone 7 as early as 2016, and the adapter for them on the iPhone XS and iPhone XR As of the end of 2018, Apple continues to get closer to the time when it can completely remove physical ports from its mobile devices. Event that, also according to Ming-Chi Kuo, would happen in 2021.
However, according to Kuo, the 20W charger recently filtered does exist. The analyst claims that this charger would replace the current 5 and 18 watt ones. This higher-powered charger, however, would arrive packaged with next-generation iPads. These would be two models, 10.8 inches for the standard iPad, and 8.5 inches for the renewal of the iPad mini.
