Other updates:

  • Wireless charging: Apple reintroduced the wireless charging feature with its iPhone 12 range, including two different options. Apple introduced the MagSafe Charger, once again, for charging one device at a time and the MagSafe Charger Duo for charging two at a time. It now also includes a flip-up spot to charge your Apple Watch.

  • No headphones, wall-chargers: Much to the dismay of several, Apple has excluded the headphones jack and the wall-charger from the iPhone box this time around. In fact, you will not even have the wired EarPods in your box, and will only find a USB Type-C cable.
