We recently saw reports that Apple will not include a charger in the iPhone 12 box. Those reports were further corroborated by Nikkei Asian Review. Well, it turns out, Samsung may be planning a similar step for its smartphones as well.
Still, it is a big step to take for both Samsung and Apple. Chances are Apple will be the first one to take the step because the iPhone 12 is coming this year, and Samsung is planning on the step next year. So, we can expect a lot of Apple bashing if the Cupertino giant removes the charger from the box. Whether Samsung does the same or not is difficult to say. What’s even more difficult to say is whether the cost benefits will pass on to consumers or just thicken the profit margins of these tech giants.
