Yes, removing the charging brick from each iPhone box will reduce waste, and it will allow Apple to ship more iPhones on fewer planes/trains/trucks. But if you expand your view just a bit, you can really see how none of their other marketing backs up this goal, and in fact runs coutner to it.
After the iPhone 12 series was announced, I began to prepare myself to give up pro features and looks in case I wanted the iPhone 12 mini. I didn’t expect to prefer the straight-up iPhone 12 to the iPhone 12 Pro, but that’s what happened. It looks better, feels better, and is appreciably lighter than the pro model. Your mileage may vary, but I hope the future of the iPhone looks more like the iPhone 12 than the iPhone 12 Pro.
As first spotted by Jeremy Horwitz, the FCC documentation for the iPhone 12 models brings some interesting details about how these devices can be wirelessly recharged. FCC says iPhone 12 works with regular Qi chargers and also with a new “charging function at 360 kHz” that can recharge accessories.

As part of an expansive, multi-year deal with Apple, the Emmy-drenched former writer, producer and host of The Daily Show is set to front an all new current affairs series for the streaming service.

Vilynx applied its technology to software that companies used for search and recommendation engines for video and other media. On its now defunct website, the startup touted the ability of its system to not only recognize items, but understand them.
Sure enough, exactly what I feared would happen, happened. And I'm now in this dilemma where we're now getting outside of the house a little bit more. I've thrown on some clothes and I really want to put one of my watches on, but I don't want to take my Apple Watch off because I haven't met my stair goal yet. Or, I'm in a competition and I need to workout more. And so, everything that I feared actually came true. So then, I end up having to teach myself the balance of all right, I can still wear my watches and wear my Apple Watch.
I am not at all tempted by the iPhone 12 Pro Max, but I can't wait to read reviews of the iPhone 12 mini.
