foreign media MacRumors reported that it was previously reported that the Apple iPhone 12 model will not include a power adapter or EarPods headset in the box, and a small code adjustment in the iOS 14.2 Beta seems to confirm Apple plans to sell the new iPhone without giving away EarPods earphones.
In iOS 14 and earlier versions of iOS, it was mentioned that the use of “provided earphones” to reduce exposure to radio frequency energy is a wording that Apple has been using for many years.
In iOS 14.2 Beta, this wording was adjusted to only mention “headphones”, and the “supplied” part of this sentence was removed. The complete code is as follows.
“To reduce exposure to radio frequency energy, please use hands-free options, such as built-in hands-free phones, headsets or other similar accessories.”
All previous references to headphones included “provide”, and the new code deliberately removed the word, strongly suggesting that Apple has no plans to “provide” headphones in the upcoming iPhone 12 model.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in May that iPhone 12 models will not come with EarPods in the box. Instead, Apple plans to launch a certain AirPods promotion to encourage iPhone buyers to buy AirPods at the same time.
In addition, there are rumors that Apple will cancel the power adapter in the iPhone 12 box, which means that customers will get an iPhone 12 and a USB-C to Lightning cable, nothing else.
Naija Tech News reported that when Apple released the Apple Watch Series 6 model without a power adapter, the news of the cancellation of the power adapter has been confirmed, but until now, we have hardly heard any supporting news about the possible cancellation of the EarPods headset.
For a long time, Apple has provided EarPods earphones in new iPhone models to provide customers with ways to listen to music and make calls. However, since the introduction of AirPods and the cancellation of the 3.5mm headphone jack in the iPhone product line, Apple has been committed to Headphone transition.
At present, the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro models are equipped with EarPods at the factory and have a Lightning connector that can be inserted into the Lightning port, but it seems that the iPhone 11 device will be the last iPhone device equipped with EarPods earphones in the box.
It is reported that due to the high price of the 5G chip in the new iPhone 12 device, Apple will remove the power adapter and EarPods from the iPhone 12 box to reduce costs . This change will also allow Apple to reduce the size of the iPhone box, reducing packaging and environmental waste.
