Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that Apple is considering removing<\/a> the included earbuds from the iPhone 12 retail package back in May. Analysts at Barclays said the same a few days ago and hinted that even the power brick may be dropped, Kuo agrees in his latest research note.<\/p>\n Apple will introduce a 20W charger with USB Power Delivery, says Kuo, which will be sold separately. He didn’t forecast a price but the current 18W charger goes for $30. The company will stop production of the current 5W and 18W models.<\/p>\n Apple will likely position this as an eco-friendly move that would result in less electronic waste. And while that’s true, the analyst highlights other motivations – adding 5G to the new iPhones increases their manufacturing cost, but they will be sold at the same price<\/a> as the 2019 models. Removing the earbuds and charger will help improve margins.<\/p>\n According to the Barclays team, the only accessory that the iPhone 12 models will ship with is an USB-C to Lightning adapter. Coincidentally, this will solve Apple’s problems with EU’s push for a common charger<\/a> compatible with all phones.<\/p>\n The iPhone SE (2020)<\/a> currently ships with a 5W charger, but that will be removed from the package later this year, believe the analysts. However, a 12W charger will continue to be included with iPads.<\/p>\n Speaking of Apple’s tablets, the company will introduce a 10.8” model later this year, says Kuo. It will be a successor to the current 10.2” iPad or 10.5” iPad Air. There’s also a new iPad mini with 8.5” screen in the works, the analyst expects it will be unveiled next year. Unlike the iPhones, these iPads will be bundled with the new 20 W charger.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Peter <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Apple's](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/20\/06\/iphone-12-no-included-charger\/-207\/gsmarena_001.jpg\")
