iPhone 11, SE (2020) and XR also lose in-box chargers and EarPods

14 October 2020
You’ll only get a USB-C to Lightning cable in the box from now on.

iPhones are stable and good looking but many persons cannot afford one. Is kind of hard spending on the phone itself and then buying a good charger. I specially don't like 5W charger, I expect at least one of 12 or 18W. Here in Mexico the salaries are not that good to buy one. I was thinking on getting one but I guess I will purchase a new Samsung or Motorola with a good charger, a good processor and a good battery. I don't think a phone should be a luxury, is a need and we normally need it to make or receive calls and use social media, not to be part of a social circle.

    Expect android to follow suit , might force the removal of usb micro in low cost phones and push phones to usb-C only
    Which might force Apple to change , this idea might back fire on them long term.

            So... will MacBooks and iPads come without chargers too? You know, standardisation across the product range.

Given the fact, that the hardware is overpriced as ever (also prices of options like cases made me laugh) plus taking out value in form of headphones and chargers is insane. Saving the world because of less package? Will original apple-parts be sent naked when someone needs them? Oh, dear. A textline of a Depeche Mode song comes into my mind: ''taking from the needy, giving to the greedy''.Who of the older audience knows the song? The winner can place his iphone order first.

                          Just bought today Samsung galaxy z fold 2 and you won't believe it!!!! charger and headphones were in the box!!!!(I am not Samsung Fanboy but I think it's the best piece of tech out there right now).I will give you all an piece of advice don't go with company when they try to rip you off on the very beginning.Not every one had an iPhone in the past and if someone don't known about Apple latest innovation not putting a wall brick in the box will be very surprised when will want to charge the phone. Absolutely hideous move from Apple forward New and absolutely not knowing a thing new customers.SHAME ON YOU APPLE!!!!!

                            Just bought SE 2020 product Red for work to replace old 6s, it's a nice phone at a good price, taking power brick and ear phones out
                            Nothing to do with the planet just more profit, Apple hypocrisy, buy one from other suppliers while old stock available as not past Apple store to remove them from boxes in store,my last Apple phone looking at other makes for my private phone a big Samsung / LG,
