Why did iPhone cancel the charging head?

If you bought an iPhone recently, you may be surprised to find that there is no charging head in the box. Since 2020, this change has caused strong opposition from fruit powder. Because in the public consciousness, the charging head should be the standard of the mobile phone. It is unkind not to give what should be given.

So, why does Apple insist on canceling the charging head at the risk of offending users?

Today we will talk about this topic.

The official reason given by Apple is that in order to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions, the charger and headphones in the box have been cancelled. This does make sense. The charging head is made of very durable plastic to ensure the safety of users when the equipment is overheated. But correspondingly, it is also difficult to decompose and recycle, which contributes to the increasingly serious problem of e-waste.

In addition, the apple packaging box with discarded accessories is smaller, which allows Apple to install 70% more iPhone on each shipping tray. A year's reduction in carbon emissions is equivalent to 450,000 cars. Apple also claims that there are more than 2 billion charging heads in the world in the hands of old customers. In order to promote the utilization rate of these charging heads and reduce waste. Therefore, it is necessary and reasonable not to charge the head. However, Apple's claim that all this is for environmental protection is not entirely convincing.

More people believe that Apple is doing this in essence to obtain more economic benefits. Some facts also confirm this view.

First of all, after reducing the cost of accessories and packaging, Apple did not cut the price of the iPhone. It seems that it is not Apple itself that pays for environmental protection, but Apple users. In addition, Apple's charging cable for the new iPhone is a Type-C excuse. However, the charging head in many fruit powders does not support this interface. This means that they have to spend extra money to buy a new charging head. The cheapest apple in official website is 149 yuan. To sum up, although canceling the charging head will be beneficial to the environment to a certain extent, it seems that what Apple really pursues is money.
