Kuo is one of the most accurate analysts and "clairvoyants" regarding Apple products in the whole world. Starting with 2011, many information given by Kuo proved to be real at the time of the launch of an Apple product.
This time, Kuo comes with a news that caused waves in the iPhone user communities. Future devices iPhone 12, which will be launched this fall by Apple, will come without wired headphones and charger in the box. These will have to be bought separately at a rather high price, as Apple has accustomed its consumers.
The decision seems to come from Apple's desire to launch the devices iPhone 12 at the same price as the iPhone 11 at the time of launch. Thus, removing from the box wired headphones and mains charger, these would offset the price for the components 5G technology. The box of the new iPhone 12 will also be smaller, which will help reduce costs.
It is not clear whether the cable Lightning it will be included in the iPhone 12 box or it will also have to be bought separately. It would not be news. Apple Watch 3 it came in the box with the magnetic charging cable though without plug and mains chargerea.
For iPhone 12 users can use the network chargers of 5W, 18W or the new model of 20W. In fact, this will be the only charger model that will be manufactured by Apple.
"iPhone 13 will be sold without the iPhone in the box” is a frequently encountered joke after this news.
Leaving aside the joke, for many owners of Apple devices, the lack of wired headphones and the mains charger in the box, will not mean an extra expense. In an article from the end of last year, we show that many of Apple's devices and power supplies are compatible, even if they have different powers. Thus, the MacBook Pro charger can be used to charge the iPad Pro or any iPhone that supports fast charging.
More details about compatible Apple power supplies and devices can be found at:Can we use the MacBook Pro charger for fast iPad or iPhone charging?"
As for the lack of wired headphones in the box of the future iPhone 12, I believe that most of those who spend more than 1,000 EUR for an iPhone have already switched to AirPods or AirPods Pro.
Also from Kuo we learn that the iPhone 12 will come in four variants. A model with a small display of 5.4-inch, two models of 6.1-inch (one standard and one "Pro") and a 6.7-inch "Max" model. All four iPhone 12 models will have display OLED.
