Since iPhone 12, Apple has stopped giving away chargers in the boxes of its new smartphones. Despite strong opposition to the law, Apple has not flinched. However, the company claims to have removed the charger for environmental protection. In addition, Apple claims to have saved 550000 tons of ore, excluding the cost of being packed in a box.

Apple stressed again in its environmental report card that "the charger is no longer included, and this change is indeed quite bold." it is estimated that we have saved 550000 tons of copper, tin and zinc ore. it is well worth reducing the exploitation of the earth's resources. "

Apple claims that it has not only saved the earth's natural resources, but also completely eliminated the plastic film that wraps the boxes of iPhone products through redesign. As a result, it also reduces the use of about 600 tons of plastic.

However, Apple's explanation doesn't mean anything to netizens. On multiple platforms, netizens have attacked Apple's cunning nature.

One netizen said, "Don't you have to buy it? it's like a cell phone doesn't need a charger to charge."

Another netizen said: "if you don't make an apple, isn't it more environmentally friendly?"

As for the real reason why the company canceled the charging head, the outside world does not know. One thing is certain, however, that the elimination of free charging heads is a good thing for Apple's business. By removing the charger and EarPods from the box, Apple has saved a total of $6.5 billion so far. After removing these accessories, Apple still did not lower the price of smartphones.

Apple saves $35 for every iPhone it sells, but the cost reduction is not for consumers, but for the company itself.
