Apple with their iphone 12 series took a daring decision to not include a charger in the box. Everyone was shocked with the decision apple took, but as we all know apple is known to take such daring decisions and then the other OEM's also follow apple.
This year is no different, apple removed the charger and now other companies are also removing the charger from their box and the reason given is that it will reduce the plastic waste which is true.
XIAOMI CEO , today on his weibo account confirmed that the next flagship that is the mi 11 will not include a charger in the box.
Also reports suggest that the next samsung flagship will also exclude the charger.
The irony is that when Apple removed the charger everyone mocked at them for this decision and now they are on the same path apple took. The same happened when apple ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack, first the android counterpart targeted apple for this later they also removed the jack.
Also the box for the mi 11 was leaked and the thickness look the same as the box of iphone 12 series.
MY OPINION ON THIS DECISION
Actually i am okay with the decision to ditch the charger from the box as everyone already has a charger. But the thing which concerns me is that what if the phone only supports fast charging from the companies particular charger?
Take an example of oneplus, the phones only support 30/65 W charging from the charger provided in the box. So if a company claims 65W charging support so do we have to buy the charger separately?
A realme 50W charger costs 1500 rupees in india which is equivalent to around 22 dollars, so eventually you have to buy a charger separately and this just makes more profit for OEM's .
Well that's what i think about this decision, let me know in the comments what do you think about this decision.
amazing!!
