Apple's iPhone 12 will not come with wired headphones in the box, nor will it come with a wall charger

Apple will no longer include its wired EarPod headphones in the box with its new iPhones, starting with the iPhone 12.

The company is also removing the wall charger from the iPhone's box. Apple will include a USB-C to Lightning cable, however, which can be plugged into a computer or adapter for charging.

Apple executive Lisa Jackson announced the change Tuesday afternoon after announcing its new smartphone lineup. "It's like removing 450,000 cars from the road per year," she said.

The move will allow Apple to create smaller, more sustainable iPhone packaging. 

Analysts pointed out that the move is to save costs, so that the price is not much higher than that of competitor Huawei.
