JAKARTA - The iPhone 12 has not been released by Apple. But rumors that Apple changed the accessories contents of the iPhone 12 sales package are increasingly circulating.

After previously circulating rumors that Apple would not include a charger and lightning cable in the sales package for the iPhone 12. Now quoting MacRumor, Apple is said to not include EarPods in its cellphone box.

This was discovered during the iOS 14.2 update for the application developer version. It is said that iOS adds a disclaimer regarding radio frequency (RF) exposure which provides several safety warnings for users on how to use the included devices and accessories.

The warning only contains the word "headphones" and not "supplied headphones." The statement indicates that Apple will release a new iPhone without EarPods.

"To reduce exposure to RF energy, use hands-free options, such as an internal speakerphone, headphones that are included or other similar accessories," quoted MacRumors, Wednesday, September 30.

Apple also said that the device will only support hands-free options, such as the internal speakerphone, headphones or other similar accessories supported by the iPhone 12.

This proves the leak from the analysis of Ming-Chi Kuo who once said that Appla would not include EarPods in the sales package for the iPhone 12. Where Apple plans to sell accessories separately.

This rumor is also proven when Apple only sells its smartwatches, Apple Watch Series 6 and SE, without a charging port. Apple argues that this is a way to protect the environment.

Where they also claim that most of the users already have compatible charger port. So that these accessories will no longer be accompanied by the sales package.

For information, the iPhone 12 is scheduled to launch in mid-October. It's just that for the new highest model to be available in stores a month later, Apple will also add 5G network support for the iPhone 12 Pro model.
