Why did Apple remove the charger?

There is the biggest issue on the iPhone 12, which was unveiled in 2020. The iPhone 12 offers many new features, including much better-performing photos and very fast processors. 

But today's topic is not this positive. Apple has decided not to provide chargers for iPhones that are being released this time. It's not just him. Charger as well as EarPods were excluded from the package. What Apple says is really absurd. Referring to the "carbon emission problem," Apple says that removing chargers and EarPods from the upcoming iPhone 12 will reduce packaging by about 70 percent and allow more devices to be transported in the logistics transportation process, resulting in lower carbon emissions.

In addition, Apple also said there are about 2 billion Apple chargers around the world and more than 700 million EarPods already. I can't help being angry from the consumer's point of view. Does it make sense that you have to buy additional chargers and / earpods to buy an expensive electronic device? In this post, we will deal with this issue of Apple removing the charger.

Apple's unconvincing logic

Let's listen to Apple's logic first. According to Apple, the absence of chargers will reduce the volume of packages packing goods from this model, which will increase logistics efficiency by 70 percent, which will reduce carbon emissions and ultimately contribute to environmental protection. It also says that there are already about 2 billion Apple chargers around the world, so buying and using them separately when users need them is the way for the environment.

I think that's ridiculous. To prove that there are 2 billion Apple chargers in the world, you have to look at the specifications of this charger first. The size of the charger is USB-C toLightinig. When the world was using the 'USB-C' type, Apple was using its own standard 'Lightning'. I think the figure of about 2 billion Apple chargers, which began to be available in 2018, is probably including USB-A chargers.

However, errors already occur from this part. The cable included with the iPhone 12 is not compatible with the USB-Acharger you previously had. Therefore, many buyers are required to purchase chargers. At this point, more trash will already be generated and the word reducing carbon emissions is also not convincing.

Existing chargers are not good either.

I like Apple's electronics. However, there are considerable problems with Apple's components. There are references on Apple's official website. According to Apple, "Most buyers don't even take them out of boxes, let alone use them. For this reason, the charger and EarPods inside the package were removed." This is true. So why didn't they use the basic things that users offer? Apple talks as if users aren't using it even though it has provided a good charger.

Let's think about it. Who uses a 5W charger other than the 12W charger that is commonly provided by other manufacturers, let alone high-speed charging? It's not the buyer who's providing such a low-performance charger that they don't even take out of the box. The problem is with Apple. I think it is a significant problem to remove a charger from the components of the package even if it is given.

Apple didn't pay for anything to protect the environment. Rather, Apple is showing off by saying that it has shifted all of its expenses to customers, and that it has nevertheless made advanced achievements for the environment. Of course, many consumers and critics are making strong criticisms and complaining to Apple. However, the results have already resulted in the exclusion of the charger from the package.

So what about the price of the charger?

Apple took a new step as it excluded chargers and earpods from basic parts. The company lowered the existing charger by $10 from 18W to 20W, and lowered the charger by $10 from $29 to $19, while the EarPod also lowered by $10. To proceed with high-speed wired charging, you can purchase a charger that supports 'USB-PD' through another company without having to use a dedicated charger.

But in high-speed wireless charging, the story is different. For high-speed wireless charging, Apple's exclusive wireless charger must be purchased. Apple has previously been criticized by many for its operation to force the purchase of accessories. Again, Apple is forcing buyers to buy accessories. It's hard to see from a good perspective because it induces purchases so blatantly.

Is Apple's policy really for the environment?

I think it is good in its own way not to include power adaptors and earpods in the package if they really contribute to environmental protection. However, many view Apple's claims as skeptical. Theanalysis shows that sales volume and logistics management inside the store aremore affected than carbon emissions. Also, as consumers buy new chargers and new earpods, new garbage is created, and no matter how much Apple reduces its carbon emissions, it will eventually return to its place. Rather, I think it will be worse for the environment.

Whether consumers buy Apple's original chargers or buy products from other companies, global carbon will not decrease significantly. And the most incomprehensible part is that Apple excluded chargers from all existing products as well as the iPhone 12! Does this really make sense?

Still, I will buy it.

It is literally right. Still, I will buy the iPhone 12 that will be released this time. Because it's already too tamed by Apple, the performance itself is quite good. That's why I can't help but get more angry with these policies. It would have been better if it had been operated like a 카지노사이트 in Korea, but there are too many regrets.

Of course, there are exceptions to the package exclusion policy. In the case of being released in France, Earpods is enclosed and sold. Because in France, a hands-free currency element must be legally enclosed.  Of course, they sell the iPhone and AirPods in double packages. Isn't there no reason to exclude earpods from other countries?

Wrapping up this post, "Is Apple's policy really going to help the environment?I've had countless thoughts of ". My conclusion is that there will be no big difference. It is not a product that will be used and discarded for a certain period of time. I think it's better for the environment to have a device that can be easily repaired and used for a long time at any time. Thank you very much for reading my long article.
