"Apple’s decision to no longer include wall chargers A company making a production choice that’s good for business and good for the planet seems like a win-win. But Apple is assuming that the people buying the new iPhone already have old chargers ready to use instead. (...) The problem is that buying chargers separately could mean more packaging waste and emissions from separate deliveries. Some of that might add to Apple’s carbon footprint, and some of it might get tacked on to different companies’ carbon footprints if consumers decide to buy the accessories from other vendors. That doesn’t necessarily reduce emissions overall; it just spreads the greenhouse gasses around between different companies. (...) The cable that is included with the iPhone 12 isn’t compatible with the power blocks included with many previous iPhones. Consumers who don’t have a compatible charger lying around will need to purchase a USB-C wall charger or wireless charger in order to use their new phones. (...) Selling the new iPhone 12 with or without a charging block included distracts us from the larger question: why Apple and other electronics companies have not taken greater responsibility for reusing and recycling their products the vast majority of which are still disposed."

Die sind nicht zwingend für den Gebrauch des Gerätes nötig und liegen bei den meisten Usern - im Gegenteil zu den mitgelieferten Ladegeräten - in der Tat einfach nur herum. |
