Apple's new iPhones won't ship with earbuds or wall chargers [telecom]

Apple's new iPhone 12 lineup will ship without wall chargers or Lightning EarPods in the box to reduce the phone's environmental impact, the company announced today. Instead, they'll come with just a USB-C to Lightning cable. As well as the new phones, Apple is also removing the accessories from its existing iPhone models going forward.

Good old Apple: the canonical example of the triumph of style over value. From proprietary connectors attached to easy-to-break con- necting cables that only Apple could replace, to this slick eco- friendly disinformation campaign, all aimed at proving that a fool and his money were lucky to get together in the first place.

Good luck, Apple groupies: enjoy your new, improved, oh-so-pricey sense of exclusivity and status.
