If the rumours are true, these year's iPhones won't include chargers. iPhones already don't come with wired earbuds, but this time even the power brick might go missing. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and Barclays analysts, only the charging cable will be included in the box.

Kuo believes this decision is meant to cut costs and help offset the higher price of adding 5G wireless technology. At the same time, it would be an eco-friendly approach. Environmental critics have argued that supplying power adapters to users frequently adds to the electronic waste that people accumulate as they upgrade devices. Of course, if you do need one now, you're going to have to buy it separately. But perhaps that extra cost might be enough to offset the number of adapters that end up in landfills.
