How the future iPhone 12 could be
Since the release of the iPhone, Apple has included in the box the iPhone some headphones. Initially they were headphones with the Jack connector, until the arrival of the iPhone without said connector in which Apple began to include the EarPods with connector Lightning
But, according to the latest rumors, Apple could be considering not including any type of headset in the box of future iPhone 12 and 12 Pro. And there are two reasons to remove this accessory that is included "free" in the iPhone box.
Apple's main intention with this movement would be to boost the sale of AirPods
The first one would be to pave the way for the future iPhone without any type of port that was completely wireless. We don't know if it will be the iPhone 12 that will make that leap, but it has been known for a long time that this is what Apple intends to do and this is supported by some of the company's movements, emphasizing what wireless.
But I wouldn't just remove the EarPods for that reason. The other reason, and probably the one with the most weight, is the intention of Apple to further boost the sale of its wireless headphones: the AirPods and the new AirPods Pro.
Apple AirPods Pro
The AirPods of Apple have become a reference to follow and were the ones that, without a doubt, promoted the manufacture and sale of wireless headphones by the rest of the companies.And both its design and its functions have made it one of the company's great sources of income.
And, despite being one of their biggest sources of income, they want to boost their sales even more, making iPhone users consider buying some AirPods as the EarPods are not included In addition, the intention would be to implement discounts on the AirPods to make them more interesting for most users.
This move makes sense if we frame it into Apple's future plans to create a iPhone without ports. But, if the future iPhone 12 isn't that iPhone portless, Apple should keep theEarPods included. What do you think?
