The custom of companies not to include headphones in the box of the devices is spreading more and more. It is not necessary to go very far, Apple does not include headphones in products like the iPad, which are very clearly focused on multimedia consumption (What nonsense!) And which is also one of the few that still has the 3,5mm Jack.
Now it seems that Apple gets on the car of cutting wherever it can, According to the latest information from analysts, Appel will stop including the EarPods in the iPhone box for the new versions, Why is Apple making such an absurd move?
This time the information comes from Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the most prestigious "analysts" in the sector. As you well know, the iPhone has not included a headphone jack for a long time, the 3,5mm one and made many changes, first it included a Minijack to Lightning adapter that later would go on to sell for "only" 10 euros since it would make the headphones directly with a Lightning connector. I honestly preferred the adapter option, as at least this allowed you to use the headphones on the MacBook, which is obviously not possible with Lightning headphones (those wonderful things that Apple does from time to time).
In short, the analyst is clear that from the end of 2020, when the iPhone 12 and its entire range are launched, they will come with a surprise inside, or rather with the lack of it, it will lack EarPods headphones. Perhaps this would make sense if Apple gave you at least a few traditional AirPods with the "Pro" model, a nice touch that other companies have had. In short, Apple's war against wired headphones seems to be declared, the question is whether more companies will join in the high-end.
