RAMROD 117,333 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Samsung may not include chargers in the boxes of some of its smartphones starting in 2021, according to a report from Korean news site ETNews. The company is taking them out because many people already have chargers and to help reduce costs, the report says. While not including a charger in the box might seem like a big move, Samsung reportedly isn’t the only major phone maker considering it. Apple may do something similar by not including a charger with this year’s iPhone lineup, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Apple may also phase out the 5W and 18W chargers that currently come with iPhones (depending on which model you buy) and instead offer a new 20W fast charger that will be sold separately, said Kuo. Removing chargers from phone boxes could be a major way for Samsung and Apple to lower the costs of selling their phones and make their phone packaging smaller, but it could also have a significant impact on the environment. Taking them out of some of the top-selling smartphones could help reduce the number of chargers that go unused and are thrown away because people already have a bunch more scattered around their house.

Cos every other Chinese phones will adopting it too. Also, y'all who wishes or thinking to get that 2020 iPhone SE, and have no more budget for upcoming 12 line up, then you better get it now, cos after iPhone 12 released, it will also not including chargers in their box anymore.

FATCAT 60,896 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'm okay with this if they allow me to purchase the better 45W charger at launch. At the end of the day I already have a million chargers. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doot 2 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 They better subtract that cost from the phones then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatica 13,698 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Lmao the phone contains most of the non recyclable materials (or at least very expensive to recycle). So in terms of environmental issues we are staying still, but for the economy they can show the same prices but without chargers. And later the charger would be a product on its own "The iCharger X Plus" I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.

So we got that going for us Flagship phones will be expensive. Most of the people will have to use the cheaper ones. With Samsung phones, it's like Galaxy Series A and Series M, while the flagship, Series S and the Note will only be used by small numbers of people.
