In 2020, Apple released the iPhone 12 series without a charger or EarPods in the package. The corporation claimed a variety of reasons for this decision, and now a new report claims that it saved the brand billions of dollars.
When the Cupertino-based firm originally revealed that it would be deleting the charger and EarPods, many assumed that the corporation was simply seeking to save more money, despite claiming to be doing so for ecologically responsible reasons. It further claimed that eliminating the two components resulted in smaller packaging boxes, allowing for 70% more gadgets to fit on a shipping pallet. As a result, more packaging means that Apple could send more iPhones at once.
This would also allow it to cut its annual carbon emissions by 2 million metric tonnes, which the corporation argues is comparable to taking 500,000 cars off the road. According to the Daily Mail, Apple may have saved over 5 billion Pounds so far by eliminating the charger and EarPods from the package, which roughly converts to about 6.5 billion US Dollars. To put it another way, the corporation may have eliminated the basic accessories from the package to offset the cost of the new 5G modem on its iPhones.
Notably, by lowering the retail box, the corporation may save its shipping expenses by roughly 40%. As a result, the price of the phone should be reduced for consumers. Additionally, the brand is now earning additional income from customers who purchase EarPods or AirPods and the charging brick separately. So it's hardly surprising that it was able to save up such a significant sum in just two years.
