Great video by MKBHD on the rumor (grain of salt) that the next gen iPhones will ship without a charger, charging cable, and earPods in the box.

True, it’s just a rumor, and we typically avoid those on The Loop, but this isn’t simple mongering. Instead, it’s an interesting take on the pros and cons of including stuff in the box that we already likely have, the potential massive savings in packaging waste, and the question of how such a move might impact price.

Side note: I found this Reddit post to be an interesting detailed breakdown of that potential packaging impact.
