Zhongguancun online news: On March 14, the British Daily Mail published an article saying that experts analyzed the economic benefits brought by Apple's removal of iPhone chargers and headphones: a total of 5 billion pounds (equivalent to 41.3 billion yuan) have been saved.
Previously, Apple told consumers that removing accessories such as chargers and headphones can not only reduce waste, but also directly reduce the size of the mobile phone case and further save materials. In October 2021, students from Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Donghua University teamed up to sue Apple, requesting that Apple be ordered to deliver the charger and pay a liquidated damages of 100 yuan. Apple's agent believes that the mobile phone box does not clearly include a charger, and has repeatedly mentioned "environmental protection".
