iPhone 12 is one of the most anticipated mobile phones this year from Apple, and there have been several leaks about the phone before its release. The latest update or leak is not such good news for the existing Apple customers planning to upgrade. It has been rumored that the next flagship iPhone12 will not ship with earbuds or a charger in the box. Although the information has been confirmed by Apple yet, the information comes from a trusted source in Apple.

The rumor has also been confirmed by another reputed leaker, which gives more weight to the information’s authenticity. It has also been rumored that the packaging of the new iPhone 12 will be much thinner and exquisite as the box will only contain the handset and the documentation. However, not all the existing and potential customers are happy about this information. Genuine Apple accessories are already sold at a very high price.

Adding the charging unit and earphones to the same will add a lot more to the expensive iPhone. As per the users and many tech reviewers, they are removing the earphones would not be uncommon as most mobile device companies do not ship earphones any longer. However,  removing the charger unit seems to be the wrong decision. iPhones are already a lot expensive, and asking the customer to buy expensive chargers from Apple would break the already expensive deal for many.

Apple’s decision might have been taken to cut down on the e-waste produced in large quantities every year. However, removing the charging unit and earphones from the package will impact the new potential customers to Apple’s Ecosystem. Shelling out extra bucks just for the charger might not seem to be the best deal for them. Although nothing is confirmed by Apple right now and the customers will have to wait until it is officially launched.

Since every game will be raised to a new level of graphics and gameplay, the price increase is fairly valued in regards to the next-generation console. Although the information was confirmed by just one game developer studio, it is the first sign of what seems to be a costlier PS5 software for the users. Apart from the initial cost to purchase the game, it is also rumored that the in-game purchased to level up the player’s skill set, will also be priced much higher than that of PS4 games. The information will be verified better when other game studios will disclose the details on how they will price their games for PS5 and how it will be different from what was offered on PS4. Although, the existing users who are planning to upgrade will have to be prepared for the price increase, which seems to be inevitable.
