Spurs Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 I think we can all agree the price is insane, but thats not only an apple thing. Im actually okay with this. In fact, since they have now moved over to USB-C, they could even drop the cable. Everyone has a multitude of the things lying around. I think from an environmental viewpoint, its a great thing - a lot less e-waste will be generated this way. Yes, it also saves them money, but im actually okay with it in this regard. Earphones are also a personal thing. I dont use them at all. Most that do, use aftermarket ones that are much better anyway. I have a drawer full of USB charging adaptors, most modern wall sockets have a USB port, your computer has a few USB ports, and then when on the move, most people use a power bank in any case. They still use the lightning port. The cable you get is lightning to USB-C.
BigDL Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 They still use the lightning port. The cable you get is lightning to USB-C.True. The reality is that more and more people are moving to wireless charging and with the new MagSafe charging for iphone, even less people will be using wired chargers. Older lighting chargers will also work, and most people have tons of them floating about.
BigDL Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 And with Wireless charging I am planning on getting a few wireless charging stations to put in key areas. As for the headphones, I think mine are still sitting unopened in the box for the last 2 iPhones I got.I have three in the house and one one in my study. Easy peasy. The MagSafe chargers are going to be amazing as well.
The Ouzo Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 I have three in the house and one one in my study. Easy peasy. The MagSafe chargers are going to be amazing as well.Still dont know why they dropped the magsafe charging from the Macbooks, the amount of times that has save my MBPs
gummibear Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 New phone day and rather surprised by what’s in the box....or what’s not. No earphones and they gone with the new USB-C to lightning cable but don’t include a USB-C charger.Soon they going to make you pay extra for a battery [emoji85][emoji3] At least the SIM card pin is still included [emoji3]
The Ghost Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Yeah I have a MacBook Pro, several iPads and iPhones , and DJI items but not one single charger that will take a USB-C cable, so not having a charger in the box would be an issue for me, and what about cars using USB for CarPlay? I guess you have to use another cable for that then [emoji1]

Mine did.
The Ghost Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Do your iPad not come with a usb-c brick? Mine did.Yes, sorry, my point was that the only cable it comes with (USB-C) would be useless to me.I would just use existing cables and chargers.
The Ouzo Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Do your iPad not come with a usb-c brick? Mine did.my daughter Ipad 7 that we bought her beginning of the year has standard USB to lightning, maybe the newer ones got the USB-C
Frosty Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 my daughter Ipad 7 that we bought her beginning of the year has standard USB to lightning, maybe the newer ones got the USB-CDitto... also got the iPad 7 (for school use) with Lightning to USB cable and power adapter. I'm glad it has the power adapter, as kids tend to forget to charge their device and power bank.

Hard to beat
