In 2020, Apple made a decision at the press conference that shocked the industry. They removed the included charging head in the box of the new iPhone, a move that caused an uproar on the Internet. Regardless of the reason, the iPhone 13 series on Apple's official website so far still does not have a charger in the box, which needs to be purchased separately by users. On Apple's official website, a 20W USB-C charger costs 149 yuan, while a USB-C charging cable costs 145 yuan.

While there has been widespread discussion on the web, sales of new iPhones don't seem to have been affected by the cancellation of chargers. Relevant data show that in the top ten models sold worldwide in 2021, Apple alone occupies seven seats. Recently, according to media reports, experts have analyzed that Apple's practice of removing headphones and chargers from the iPhone box has saved a total of about $6.5 billion (about 41.2 billion yuan).
