iPhone 12 will reportedly not come with a charger in the box
Kuo reiterated that both, the EarPods and the power adapter will be excluded from the in-box accessories. This information corroborates earlier reporting that predicted the absence of these accessories, which also added that the only accessory bundled with the device would be a Lightning connector to USB Type-C cable.
The Cupertino giant will reportedly sell a new 20W fast charger separately as an optional accessory. This rumored USB-C power delivery (PD) based charger (pictured below, which was leaked on Twitter) might completely replace the current crop of 5W - shipped with the iPhone 11 - and 18W - shipped with the iPhone 11 Pro series - power adapters, with the firm ceasing production for the older accessories sometime later this year. It is not clear what the asking price of the new power adapter would be.
The analyst cites increased production costs of the iPhone owing to 5G support as the possible reason for the change. With the exclusion of the costs of the earphones and charger, the company aims to match the price of the new-generation smartphone with that of its predecessor. However, Kuo expects the company to market the removal of these accessories as being environmentally friendly. Lastly, the KGI Securities analyst also expects Apple to stop shipping the 5W charger with the second-generation iPhone SE.
If the reports turn out to be accurate, it will be interesting to see how the company communicates these changes. Expecting users to spend extra money on chargers for a premium product such as the iPhone might not bode well with customers.

Daniel So they could be putting AirPods in the box but not a charger? Nobody needs AirPods, Everybody needs a charger who wants to have to buy a charger separately for like £50? There is no logic to this almost everybody has AirPods nobody wants them. So them putting AirPods inside with the Phone itself is going to bump the original price for the Phone up about 160-250 i see their sly tricks.
It's ridiculous. Imagine buying a phone that doesn't have a charger in the box. Only Apple could do that.

I Agree they should make airpods like they are now there whole separate thing.
I know people will just buy a charger but it doesn't make sense, Lets bring a phone out without a charger but with Wireless Earphones but you can't use the Wireless Earphones because your phone is dead as you don't have a charger, Yeah that sounds amazing lets start production lmao.
