Following Apple, another mobile phone manufacturer no longer provides chargers

A recent news report shows that Apple's iPhone 12 series will no longer provide a standard charger. Following Apple, Samsung will also stop providing consumers with free chargers. According to foreign media reports, consumers will no longer be able to get a standard charger when purchasing some Samsung mobile phone models. The plan will be applied to products launched next year at the earliest. Industry insiders predict that Samsung is likely to sell chargers separately.

Foreign media said that most mobile phone users are currently equipped with chargers, and the frequency of using new chargers may be limited, so Samsung's move is beneficial to the environment.

In addition, foreign media pointed out that Samsung's annual smartphone shipments can reach hundreds of millions of units. Stopping the inclusion of chargers can reduce the cost and selling price of mobile phones to a certain extent, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the products in the market.

It is reported that as one of the competitors of Samsung's new phone, this year's 5.4-inch iPhone 12 is priced at US$749 (about RMB 5,237). In addition to canceling the standard charger, Apple also no longer provides EarPods headphones to further reduce the price. In order to increase sales, Apple has also launched an educational discount activity. Consumers can get a pair of AirPods headphones for free when they purchase Mac or iPad products with relevant certificates.
