It is becoming clear that all of the accessories that came with past iPhones will not be included with the iPhone 12 First, we heard that Apple's wired EarPods will be gone, and then several analysts reported that the charging brick will suffer the same fate

In case you had any doubts, a leaker on Twitter named @L0vetodream also went into the fray to corroborate claims that Apple's upcoming iPhone will lack these goodies as well And they say the packaging will look a little different because of it, "thinner" and more "exquisite"

If Apple is going to such lengths to cut costs and eliminate waste in the next-generation iPhone, it stands to reason the company would make the box smaller to match The leaker added that this new approach would extend "even to the SE 2," hinting that the second-generation iPhone SE launched in April could lose its EarPods and charger Or it could be a hint about the long-rumored iPhone SE Plus

Interestingly, Apple is reportedly working on a new 20-watt fast charging adapter to replace the existing 18-watt one included with the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, but these bricks will not come with any device and must be purchased separately There is a possibility that the company will be able to offer a new adapter that will be available for purchase separately At least buyers should theoretically be able to get a Lightning-USB-C cable

The rationale for eliminating the pack-in charger is that prospective iPhone buyers already have a drawer full and do not need more On the other hand, the top-of-the-line iPhone 12 Pro model is likely to fetch well over $1,000, and not including an adapter with such a model seems a bit unfair for the price paid

Furthermore, the most expensive iPhone 12 models have larger batteries, which can take particularly long to charge with the small 5-watt brick that Apple included with all devices until last year's 11 Pro So even if you have a lot of old iPhone chargers lying around, they may not provide an optimal experience

On the topic of packaging for the next iPhone, it is difficult to explain exactly what @L0vetodream meant when he described it as "exquisite" After all, it's evidence that Apple customers this fall will need to pay a little extra for a fast charger if they don't already have one Be warned
