Leaker L0vetodream on Wednesday morning corroborated recent rumors that Apple’s upcoming “iPhone 12” lineup will omit the usual EarPods and charger accessories in the box, and that the 2020 iPhone SE will soon follow suit.
L0vetodream, who usually presents their leaks as “my dream,” also says the new iPhone will feature packaging that will be “thinner” and “exquisite.” A thinner package would make sense if Apple is no longer planning to include the EarPods and a bulky power adapter. By doing this, Apple would cut down on packaging waste and shipping costs.
L0vetodream’s prediction jibes with previous claims by Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Apple is expected to offer an optional 20W power adapter and end 5W and 18W power adapters later this year.
