Taking a big decision in the year 2020, the giant tech company Apple decided to give the iPhone 12 series without charger and earpods. At that time, Apple’s decision was questioned by users and companies around the world. However, after this, companies like Xiaomi and Samsung have also been seen following this trend. Now a recent report has revealed the big benefits to Apple from this decision. The company has saved many billions of rupees, if not lakhs of crores.
When Apple first announced that it would be removing the charger and EarPods, many speculated that the company was doing so to save profits. However, the company claimed that this decision has been taken to reduce the damage to the environment. Apple also claimed that removing the two items would also make the packing box smaller, giving the advantage of fitting 70 percent more devices into the shipping pallet.

But now according to a report in Daily Mail, the iPhone maker has so far saved around £5 billion after removing the charger and EarPods from the box, which is around Rs 4,97,40 crore. Reducing the retail box also means the company can reduce its shipping costs by about 40 percent.
Apart from this, the company is now earning extra from customers who buy EarPods and charging brick separately. Hence, it would be no surprise if it managed to save such a huge amount in just two years.
