After mocking her, Samsung and Xiaomi follow in the footsteps of Apple and phones without chargers

Despite mockery and criticism against Apple's bold decisions throughout its long history, beginning with the original iPhone 2007, through not including the charger in the box with the iPhone, the latest reports indicate that it is expected that both Samsung and Xiaomi will follow suit and remove the charger from the box Their next phone.


Synchronizing with the announcement of the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, Apple announced that it will no longer guarantee chargers with all new iPhones, citing environmental concerns. The move has been publicly criticized by competing smartphone makers, led by Samsung and Xiaomi.

The day after the announcement of the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, Xiaomi posted a video promoting the Mi 10T Pro on social media showing the opening of the charger case accompanied by the comment, "Don't worry, we have not left anything out of the box."

Likewise, Samsung published a picture of a charger with the text “Included with Galaxy” and the message:

Your Galaxy gives you everything you are looking for. From the simplest charger to the best camera, battery, performance, memory and even a 120Hz screen.

Despite these social media posts clearly ridiculing Apple's decision, it is now believed, based on multiple reports, that it will remove the charger from the Galaxy S21, which is scheduled to be unveiled on January 14th. Given that Samsung has removed its post “the most basic as a charger” from social media altogether, as spotted by a site HTTech.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has also confirmed on Weibo that the company's upcoming Mi 11 will not come with a charger due to environmental concerns. He also said, smartphone users already have multiple chargers, so including another charger with Mi 11 will contribute to an unnecessary environmental burden:

The Xiaomi Mi 11 has been officially unveiled with a brand new packaging, very light and thin. Behind this thinness, we made an important decision, in response to the call of technology and environmental protection, the charger included with Xiaomi has been canceled. Today everyone has a lot of unused chargers, which are a burden on you and the environment. We are well aware that this decision may not be well understood and appreciated. But is there a better solution that combines industry practices with environmental protection?

It is worth noting that the iPhone is now shipped without including the wired EarPods or the charger in the box, but only the Lightning to USB-C charging cable is included. With these accessories removed, all new iPhones now ship in a thinner box. And Apple promotes, that it is beneficial to the environment, to stop including these accessories, noting that this step reduces carbon emissions and works to save mining and the use of rare earth elements.

Both Samsung and Xiaomi are known to follow similar trends set by Apple in the past. For example, Samsung mocked Apple to remove the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 ‌‌ in 2016, and then soon made a similar decision and released its Galaxy A8 in 2018 without a headphone jack as well.

In your opinion, why do these companies follow the example of Apple after mocking them every time? Why don't they dare to make their own decisions? Let us know in the comments.

Apple's usual stinginess began infecting other companies
Apple is known for greed and excuses are ready

However, I expect there will be a noticeable price reduction in the other phones, unlike Apple

They are supposed to gain two types of people, making a mobile phone with complete accessories and a cell phone without accessories and it is cheaper than one with complete accessories

We are the users who mocked them because we are the losers, the companies are their first concern for profit even if it is necessary to violate their policy, and we have in Apple an example from phone 1 until 2013 to 5 phones 2020, and I do not know exactly how many types of iPads >>>>> The witness in the matter is that pressure and competition Forcing you to do more

I see Apple as (the ruler) and companies as (the opposition). If the opposition succeeds in passing its policies, we, the users (the people), benefit. But during the last two years, (the ruler) is the one imposing his policies, so I don’t know what to be happy about.

If someone has an Android mobile and decides to move to the iPhone and he likes the iPhone 12, which does not have a charger and charge the mobile with the previous Android charger that does not exist, and returns to the mobile phone during the warranty period, because the battery will remain, will Apple accept it? In it, Apple does not give us neither a dirham nor a penny. Saying that you may be defending a bad year that may harm the pockets of the simple people who work as associations just because they buy the iPhone for themselves in it ………… .. be upright, may God have mercy on you.

    In my personal opinion, this is not a tradition but rather an interest because they all return three phones for the price of one phone and reduce the cost of making the phone, and I think companies were thinking about this before, but they could not do that.

All phone companies have been known, without exception, since XNUMX, and they imitate Apple in every small and big way .. because without imitation, it will completely go bankrupt.

My dear brothers, Apple provides XNUMX billion XNUMX million dollars in chargers, and the same thing for headphones, not to mention reducing the size of the fund, because Apple sells XNUMX million and XNUMX thousand iPhones every year, so imagine how much its profit will increase this year.

    Of course I did not believe them.
    They don't care about the environment, they care about profit.
    Lowest possible loss - highest possible profit

Why didn't you mention that Xiaomi provided the option to add the charger with the phone for free ?? Where is the fairness in this? Even if you are the carrier of the article, this does not excuse you from mentioning the information.

Frivolous hypocritical companies, mock and imitate.

comments user

The companies' imitation of Apple's failed actions does not indicate the success of the act, it is assumed that Apple or Xiaomi or any company that removes the shipper should reduce the price of the device by the amount of the price of the shipper when buying it. (The price of the shipper and not its value to the company)

    Hardware prices from Apple are already falling. IPhone 10 and XNUMXS used to cost a thousand dollars.
    Now you can buy 12 minis with full older brother capabilities except for the battery (due to size) for 700 dollars and iPhone 12 for 800 dollars. Even compared to last year. The iPhone 12 had a screen worse than the 5.1 mini and larger bezels. But this year, you can buy a mini at the same price with more features and a screen that is not small (XNUMX inches) while enjoying a better hand and pocket size, smaller edges and the latest Apple technology.

    Perhaps Apple could advertise the iPhone 900 at a price of a thousand dollars or 800 and not advertise a Mini or advertise a Mini at a more expensive price such as XNUMX dollars, and then announce that twenty dollars would be deducted from the price of the charger from the phone and people would be happy with the subject

    But in fact, I personally think that the price of the iPhone has become very competitive, starting with the SE, which costs only $ 400 and contains a wonderful A13 processor and an excellent camera (and I use it personally) to the 1300 mini, which is an excellent bargain for the price and size to the higher categories intended for those who specifically want its features. Even the extravagant it is, it is cheaper than the Note Ultra phone from Samsung, for example, which costs $ XNUMX to start.

    Brother Karim, please do not compare the price of the iPhone X (the highest category for the iPhone XNUMX) with the iPhone Mini (the lowest category XNUMX), but compare it with the Pro, because in my opinion it is the ideal iPhone without pluses or minuses. Compare the new features and the astronomical price and tell me if you are still that the price of the iPhone is declining 🙂🙂 + The price of notes and phones has increased madly due to the high prices of Apple phones and not because of the greed of the companies I think

At a second point, I change the chips a lot, so the insertion of the chip in the Galaxy S6 and S8 broke on it because the plastic in the aluminum iPhone separated a lot

Unfortunately, I was a fan of the Galaxy S series, I had the S1, S4, S6 and S8
Unfortunately, now she has nothing but imitation and the device after a year. She feels old and wants to change
After that, one day, I got iPhone x 256 GB
I bought it 8 months after purchasing the Galaxy S6
The important thing is, there was a problem with the device for me, this is the connection, you can not use the device and one communicates with you
Important: The jailbreak was activated after a month's purchase
The problem has been resolved
The moment any device you can play with, it just works for you
Now use iPhone 11pro
And my old iPhone X as a secondary device I replaced it with an S8

Xiaomi revealed hours ago about the Mi 11 phone
But is the goal only to publish an article to prove that what Apple did is true !!?
Xiaomi, yes, it removed the charger from the box, but it provided an option to buy the device with a charger for the exact same price
If you want to protect the environment, buy it without a charger, and if you want a charger, buy it with a charger at the same price.
Where are your days, Ben Sami, just brother

    Why at the same price, the better charger should be discounted

    comments user
    Abu Issa Chinese

    When announcing the device, they said that the price would have increased by 99 yuan, but they really target the environment, so they put the two options at the same price.

Even if these companies imitate Apple, the latter's decision remains cynical and underestimates people's minds, and there is no need to justify it no matter how imitated by other companies.

Either to be creative or to be accordingly, this is what distinguishes Apple from others .. Infinite creativity for more than a decade, and the reasons are many, but the most prominent of which is intellectual freedom, it is the first catalyst for the launch towards creativity, something that competing companies lack.

    I remember the truth complete and not incomplete .... Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi Mi 11 without a charger, but there is an option to take the charger for free ... I mean, I left the choice to the customer if he wants a charger or not ... while Apple sells for a charger and does not give it for free
