Apple has, a few years ago, stopped shipping charging adapters with its phones, starting a trend that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Now, it has boldly removed yet another thing cluttering its boxes: the charging cable.
The newly announced AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (what a name!) do not have even a cable in the box, let alone a charger. This information is official and has been confirmed by Apple itself through its spec page for the new earbuds.
So, we're left wondering what's next. Will the AirPods 6 spec page say "Charging Case (USB-C) sold separately"? At this rate, would it really be that surprising?
All joking aside, removing a tiny USB cable from the box feels less egregious than removing the charger, but it's still a further step on the way to making the unboxing experience for electronics an incredibly dull affair.
Anyway, you can pre-order both AirPods 4 models now, and they're set to start shipping on September 20, the same date as the iPhone 16 family.
So why Apple is selling Cables. They should stop selling cables since everyone already has a cable.
It would be soon that phones will be wrapped in banana leaves for eco friendly packaging.
