No More Charging Adapters In The IPhone 12 Sales Package

JAKARTA - Apple surprisingly wants to change the box contents of the sales package for the iPhone 12. The smartphone, which is priced not much different from the iPhone 11, reportedly will not include a charging adapter in its sales package.

As quoted by Digital Trends, Monday, June 29, technology analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple no longer includes a number of accessories in the iPhone 12 sales package, including Airpods. It is likely that Apple wants to reduce the packaging size of the iPhone significantly.

That means, the contents of the iPhone 12 sales box will only contain a smartphone, a lightning cable and a user manual and a sticker for the Apple logo. Meanwhile, other accessories such as charging adapters and Airpods will be sold separately at the Apple Store.

Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Series 3 sales package still has a charging cable but doesn't come with an adapter. Kuo said the 20W charging adapter will be sold separately as an optional purchase from Apple.

According to Kuo, this is Apple's plan to transition from 5W and 18W charging to a new model that has 20W power. Where this charging adapter model will also be applied to the iPad and iPad mini which will be launched, 2021.

Previously, Apple was also rumored not to include accessories in the form of earbuds in the box that sells the latest iPhone. This is because the cellphone manufacturer from Cupertino, California, is increasing sales of AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro.

Of course this Apple plan will cause a lot of criticism from a number of fans of this Apple logo device. Because Apple started looking for additional profits by selling accessories that should be included in the iPhone sales package.

Apple plans to launch four new iPhone 12 models this year scheduled for September. The phones that will show off are the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Max (or Plus), iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

The iPhone 12 will be the smallest device with Apple's new design factor. This device is claimed to carry a 5.4-inch Super Retina OLED display. The Max version, as the name suggests is just a bigger version of the iPhone 12 with a 6.1-inch screen.

The storage options are the same, 128GB variant and 256GB version. Apart from price and size, all other features remain the same. The iPhone 12 Pro version will launch with 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR with ProMotion. RAM in the Pro lineup will be 6GB.

As for the storage for the iPhone 12 Pro, Apple will offer three variants, which will start with 128GB to 256GB of internal storage and the highest being the 512GB variant. The maximum version of the iPhone 12 Pro will feature a large 6.7-inch screen.
