  • If you’ve recently purchased a new iPhone, you may’ve been surprised that there was no charging brick in the box. This was a change Apple made in the past year, and earned them quite a bit of backlash. After all, why wouldn’t they include a charging brick with a thousand-dollar phone? Well that’s what I’ll explain in this video.

    To address the environmental issue, Apple could have just included a coupon in the box to pick up a free or discounted charging block at an Apple Store for those who needed one.

He was primarily relying on the hypothesis that most people would sell their old phone when buying their new one, and consequently would also have to give away their charger with their old phone. This theory is easily debunked, because most people will actually trade in their last phone with the company for a much better discount on their new phone, and you don't have to give away your charger when doing trade-ins. Also, he still thinks people want to use wired headphones with their phone. Only audiophiles will be buying wired headphones to use with their phone. The only other people who need wired headphones are video editors and music editors, but their workflow uses computers, not phones. The average consumer finds wireless earbuds to be much more convenient and comfortable to use than wired headphones.

  • @MikeTheGreat1994
    @MikeTheGreat1994 3 роки тому +6

    It is true about the eco friendliness of not including a charger to an extent. To people who already had a USB-c power brick, there wouldn't have been an issue, but for someone like myself who didn't I had to buy one separately. This means that there was extra packaging with my iPhone than if they had included a charging brick. Also, that charging brick I had to buy took up extra space on a truck, used more energy to pack and ship separately, took up more space in the garbage/recycling trucks and used more energy being disposed of/recycled. I'm guessing most people would have had to have brought a separate power brick for their iPhone 12s, because as you said, the 12 is the first iPhone to come with a lightning to USB-c cable and most of the power bricks in circulation were original USB only. Even if those who brought a USB-c power brick didn't buy the official Apple one, the same problem would have existed by purchasing one from a third party manufacturer.
    Personally I think they would have been better off including a USB-c power brick with the iPhone 12 series, and then with the next generation of iPhones not including it in the box.

Sadly the “regular” 11 still also had the old “slow” 5W charger and USB A cable.

    I personally feel that having a charger should've been a choice for the consumer, not from Apple. For example, if someone buys the new iPhone 12 and they need a charging brick, I feel that they should get it with no additional cost if they desire it. However, for those who don't need it, will just get the phone without a charger. (Xiaomi did this with their recent model phone and I thought personally it was a good idea)
