Apple may soon be pulling out the USB-C to Lightning cable that has always been included in iPhone boxes until now. There is already no AC adapter supplied with the iPhone 12, iPhone 11, iPhone SE (2020) and iPhone XR.

What if Apple removed all accessories from iPhone boxes? The Cupertino company has already made a lot of talk about it when it decided to remove the charger from the box of the iPhone 12. Indeed, the four models of the new smartphone from Apple, namely the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are sold without AC adapter.
In fact, the iPhone 12 that we recently tested is also the first of the brand to be sold without EarPods headphones in the United States. French law effectively obliges all manufacturers to provide a hands-free kit with their smartphones.
A questionnaire asks users if they are using the USB-C to Ligthning cable
As controversial as the move may be among the community, Apple says the lack of the AC adapter and headphones makes it possible to reduce costs while preserving the environment. However, Apple might not stop there. After also removing the charger from the boxes of the iPhone 11, SE (2020) and XR, the USB-C to Lightning cable would now be in his sights.
Our colleagues from 9to5Mac reported that several iPhone 12 users received a questionnaire. This one asks them, among other things, if they are satisfied with Face ID. He also asks if they regularly use theThe accessories included in the iPhone 12 box. This includes the Apple stickers, the tool to eject the SIM card, and the USB-C to Lightning cable.
This obviously puts the chip in the ear. Apple has already sent a similar questionnaire before making the decision to remove AC adapters. Of course, nothing is confirmed yet. Even though Apple has plans to remove the cable, it isn’t likely to do so anytime soon. The reactions he received for the charger’s absence were far from all positive. Furthermore, USB-C to Lightning cables aren’t as standardized as chargers. Many users would rather buy a cable from Apple than a third-party manufacturer anyway for the sake of quality.
