Besides leaving the charging brick out of the containers containing the new iPhone 12 series handsets, Apple may even reportedly cease together with the wired
EarBuds in the iPhone packaging. We think about that Apple will give shoppers the alternative to add the EarBuds and the charger to on-line orders (at an additional value, after all).
