Rumor: Apple to drop headphones and charger from iPhone 12 box

I was just discussing this with a friend of mine. I only need one or two of each cable type, and one or two wall plugs. I don't need every device to come with an extra cable. It's wasteful.

Given the increasingly small number of different cables, I'd be fine with buying my own every few years.

This appears to refer to the actual charger itself, not the cable. In the UK (and I presume the rest of Europe), iPhones have only shipped with a USB cable for years. Honestly I can't even remember if they _ever_ shipped with a plug.
