TRIBUNNEWS.COM, BEIJING – Apple has just released a new report on how it saved billions of dollars in iPhone sales without including accessories like chargers and EarPods to consumers.
Apple claims it could benefit from removing two items including by making the packing box smaller, allowing 70 percent more devices to fit into a shipping pallet.
Thus, more boxes means Apple can ship more iPhones at once.
According to Gizmochina, Tuesday (15/3/2022) the reduction of these two iPhone accessories also reduces annual carbon emissions by 2 million metric tons.
But according to a Daily Mail report, Apple may have saved around £5 billion after removing the charger and EarPods from the box which roughly saved about $6.5 billion.
