iPhone 12 could come without headphones to crank AirPods

According to the authoritative analyst of Apple Ming-Chi Kuo, who for several years has been making accurate predictions related to the iPhone and other equipment of the company, there will be no branded headphones bundled with the iPhone 12. Thus, Apple intends to spur sales of AirPods wireless headphones.

Wired headphones are included with the iPhone from the moment the first model of this smartphone goes on sale. After all, Apple initially positioned the iPhone as an evolution of the iPod music player. After the release of the iPhone 7, EarPods with a Lightning connector appeared in the kit.

The next iPhone will appear in autumn as usual, but the rumor mill is already in full swing – this is also standard for Apple smartphones. There is a lot to be said about a report. Even if it does not concern the device itself but the missing headphones.

In 2016, iPhone fans had to go through a small shock, because the iPhone 7 had its classic 3.5mm headphone jack removed. This was annoying because you needed an adapter to use your previous cable headphones.

Those who bought the iPhone 7 also found EarPods in the package. Entry-level headphones are not a revelation but are sufficient for many ordinary users, and they are often used accordingly.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, this landmark Apple decision will cause a real boom in AirPods sales this year. In addition, Apple is expected to hold special promotions this fall and winter. Which will also lead to a sharp increase in sales of wireless headphones.
