Rumors of missing features in the iPhone 12 seem to have been confirmed by Apple's newly unveiled Apple Watch 6 and Apple Watch SE
As we learned at Apple's "Time Flies" event yesterday, neither of Apple's new smartwatches comes with a charger, although they do come with a charging cradle and cable This is done in the name of reducing the environmental impact of Apple's new products
Rumors that the iPhone 12 would eliminate the boxed charger and wired EarPods first surfaced a few months ago However, with Apple's most recent move and respected Apple leaker Mark Garman also claiming that the iPhone 12 will not have a charger, the evidence is now hard to ignore

There is always the option to charge wirelessly at 5W In fact, this may be a direction Apple focuses on in the near future iPhone 13 rumors suggest that the 2021 iPhone will not have a Lightning connector and will be powered solely by wireless charging
However, that is still a year away For now, we look forward to the iPhone 12 launch event in October, which will feature four new iPhone models featuring upgrades such as 5G support, the A14 Bionic chipset, and the LiDAR sensor in the Pro model, as well as some new products like the AirTags tracker We will also see new products like the AirTags tracker
