Whether to avoid contaminating the environment or not, the new technological trend in cell phones is not to include wall loaders in the boxes of the equipment. And more and more marks are added to it.

The trend was born with the announcement, in mid-October, of the iPhone 12, Apple's current ship. Cupertino have reported that this decision is made on the basis of their commitments to the environment, so the non-extra manufacture of these accessories, in addition to the reduction in shipment size, will save 2 million metric tons of carbon per year.

The decision makes some sense after they also claim that there are more than 2 billion current adapters in the world, so including them would be a waste.

There's a previous record, though. Motorola released the original Moto G at less than $200 for the far 2013-14 and only brought with it the USB cable.

Don't spit on the sky

However, this decision made its main competitors mock the decision.

"good morning MiFans, today we dreamed that our smartphones came with no charger in the box. Fortunately it was just a nightmare, "Xiaomi said before the announcement.

But, of course, many of these divisions are smaller in terms of the management of the company, and it would be CEO of Xiaomi who announces that the Mi 11 will not have the wall charger. The argument? The same motivations as Apple.

Samsung, on the day of the launch, released an image of a solo charger, with the announcement of "included with your Galaxy." now, in the middle of unpacked 2021, he has announced that the new Galaxy S21 phones will not come with a current adapter in the box (the so-called "cubits").

But they're not the only ones. LG decided to remove the package loader from the LG G8X ThinQ model for the Indian market, one of the largest in the world. If your most powerful market accepts it, we will soon see it in our region.

The equipment that has decided to exclude the charger is from the top premium range and generally points to a continuing market looking for the latest model of the brand. Therefore, it is understandable, to some extent, that they already have a charger in their homes. However, removing this tool has triggered major polemics with consumer advocacy associations and criticism on social media.

But the chargers are just the tip of the iceberg. Another of the accessories that are being eliminated are hearing aids, which are yielding on the market to Bluetooth headphones, which are offered by the companies themselves and cost much more than traditional cable headphones. Because at the end of the day, there's no stitch without thread.
