I didn't want to write anything about the new iPhones released yesterday, but I couldn't resist. :)
It looks like the iPhone 12 was the first smartphone in the world to come without a charger. For a gadget that costs from 70 to 120 thousand rubles, you need to buy a charger for 2,000 rubles. :)
Aplle's greed has no limit.
Since the very first iPhone, the price difference between models with different memory sizes has always exceeded the cost of this very memory by several times.
It is said that Apple did not make a memory card slot in its smartphones only to buy more expensive models with more memory.
And now smartphones will be sold without chargers (thanks to the cable included in the kit). It's funny that this is presented as a fight for the environment. And the fact that the buyer buys an iPhone and a charger in two boxes and throws them both away is quite environmentally friendly. :)
Of course, all old chargers and chargers from other models are not suitable - a cable with a Type C connector is included.
You can of course use a charger with a regular USB output and another cable, but then the iPhone will charge slowly.
MagSafe wireless charging, which is supported by the new iPhones, is not included even in the most expensive models. It must be purchased separately for 3990 rubles.
But all this you most likely have already heard and a post about something else.
As you know, Chinese companies copy every step of Apple: from the shape of the case to the type of headphones. There is no doubt that now there will be a bunch of Chinese phones with straight ends in the style of the fifth iPhone (and this is exactly what the twelfth has become again).
But I'm wondering, are Chinese manufacturers now, following the example of Apple, no longer equipping their smartphones with chargers?
