Reason why Apple removed charger: $ 6.5 billion
It has long been proven that removing the charger and the headphones from the accompanying packaging of the phone has nothing to do with preserving the environment - now we know how much Apple has saved!
Apple first removed the headphones, soon after the rights removed the charger from the iPhone package, and then did the same for all its other products, including wireless chargers, with which it only delivers a cable to connect to a computer or charger that the user already has.
This move was followed by Samsung, Google, Nokia, and others, and Xiaomi, guided by this, removed the charger from its smartphone boxes in China and met with fierce condemnation from users, so it never removed them from global versions of phones.
Apple, Google, Samsung, Nokia, and everyone else argue that removing the charger from the accompanying packaging of the phone is a necessary step in greening the business and for environmental protection and reducing the amount of electronic waste.
By removing the charger and headphones from the box, Apple could put 70% more phones on the pallets, which made it easier to transport and deliver the device.
This primarily saved two million tons of CO2, which was not released into the air, and it is estimated that it is as if as many as half a million cars have been removed from roads around the world.
It's not insignificant, really, but… It turns out that Apple is really doing a greener business, but PhoneArena ironically notices not about the planet, but money - because dollars are green, and the company has made at least $ 6.5 billion in savings and earnings from the sale of chargers and headphones separately!
After removing the headphones and chargers, Apple did not reduce the price of the phone, but the price of the phone increased, and accessories were bought additionally. Apple launch a 20-watt charger, which is four times faster charging compared to the chargers that the company had supplied with phones until then - the cheapest, but also the most expensive.
So every user who wanted to charge their iPhone faster had to spend at least $ 19 for a wall adapter, and then as much for EarPods headphones if they wanted them.
The savings of 6.5 billion, according to British analysts on the DailyMail site, are directly reflected in the company's profit and rising stock prices and contribute to a more successful business, with less investment and easier earnings.
In the end, it is clear that this may have something to do with environmental protection, but it has much more to do with the business of Apple, but also every other company that has made the same move, and there are many of them.
In this regard, it seems that the new Galaxy A series, which arrives on March 17, will be without a charger in the package…
