Samsung Galaxy S21 without charger in the box, Samsung is following Apple?

A Rumor have suggested that follow in Apple’s steps, Samsung is planning to remove the charger from the box of the new Galaxy S21. The new Samsung Galaxy will be announced this Thursday. Evan Blass, a reliable leaker shared images of the official Galaxy S21; which confirms that Samsung’s new smartphones will come without a power adapter in the box.

Blass has tweeted images of what he claims to be the official webpage of the Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra. Before, he also leaked the entire iPhone 12 lineup before the Apple event. Besides having a new design, 5G support, and other enhancements, the new Samsung’s phones will not have a charger in the box — just like the iPhone.

In the website called “What’s in the box,” Samsung says that the new smartphones come with “just what you need” — a USB-C cable, the SIM-ejection tool, and a guide. Same as Apple has been saying since the company removed the power adapter from the Apple Watch box last year; Samsung also claims that the decision was made to help the environment.

This is somewhat contradictory to what Samsung did when Apple announced the iPhone 12 line. Samsung did made jokes on social networks; after Apple removed the charger from the iPhone box and jokes on social networks after Apple removed the charger from the iPhone box. But when rumors about the Galaxy S21 emerged on the web, these posts were deleted.

In a related note, Samsung invited its Twitter followers today to watch the Samsung Unpacked event this Thursday; but the tweets were shared using “Twitter for iPhone.” The company later deleted the tweets, but it was too late.

News About iPhone12’s Price! Is iPhone 12 cheaper than iPhone 11?

On Oct. 13, Apple will officially unveile the iPhone 12. Here’s guide to watch Apple’s event live. We are expecting to see not only the newest iPhone lineup, but also the AirPods Studio and other Apple products. If rumors are true and we see a new 6.7-inch screen size, A14 Bionic processor and 5G, prices could skyrocket. Yet some sources say that prices could actually drop. Let’s take a look at the most credible rumors to find out more.

Multiple iPhone 12 models at different prices

The phone will come in multiple sizes. iPhone 12 Mini rumored to be the smallest at 5.4 inches; possibly two base models at 6.1 inches (iPhone 12 and 12 Pro); and the largest iPhone 12 Pro Max at 6.7 inches. That allows Apple to offer a range of prices, offering variations on the specs depending on your budget.

The iPhone Mini would be the cheapest model, with one analyst claiming that it could be available for as little as $649 with 64GB of storage, undercutting the current base 64GB iPhone 11 by $50. In the global spread of COVID-19, offering a cheaper entry model would be a smart move. Specially when people purse strings are tightening, and rivals like Google, OnePlus and Samsung are offering great phones at more affordable prices.

iPhone 12 price

You may pay the cost between $699 and $799 for a standard iPhone 12, in line with the current $699 price of the base iPhone 11. While the 12 Pro’s price would be likely somewhere around the $999 mark.

Rumored that the biggest of the bunch, the iPhone 12 Pro Max with its 6.7-inch display would likely cost in the same region of the current 64GB 11 Pro Max, $1,099, although an increase to $1,199 would not be out of the question. And a rumor that 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max will have a higher base storage of 128GB, which may affect pricing.

What’s makes it cheaper?

Although adding 5G connectivity (as is expected) will likely increase costs, Apple is broadly expected to keep the same pricing structure as it already has, with the iPhone 12 Mini offering a cheaper entry point to the series. Since the phones are rumored to sell without headphones or charging plugs in the box, potentially reducing the costs down. And many people already have drawers full of USB chargers and bundled headphones, it helping reduce plastic waste.

Apple: New iPhone 12 Release Revealed

Apple admits the iPhone 12 release is running late. But it now looks like the wait will be longer than the company suggested.

This news comes from 2020’s breakout Apple insider Jon Prosser, who states the iPhone 12 launch event may be as much as a month late, with pre-orders and shipping delayed for iPhone 12 Pro models until November. If correct (and Prosser has a 100% release record this year), it would expose Apple CFO Luca Maestri’s recent comments that the new iPhones are running “a few weeks later [than usual]” as overly optimistic.

For context, Apple has announced, opened pre-orders and shipped 14 of its last 15 iPhones in September and pre-orders have historically opened a week before the phones go on sale. In no scenario does “a few weeks later” translate to shipments sometime in November. Except maybe one.

Prosser says sales of the entry-level iPhone 12 and (newly renamed) iPhone 12 Plus will begin in mid October (pre-orders week 42, shipping week 43). Consequently, Maestri may have been attempting to ease concerns by referring to only half the new range.

 

Interestingly, Bloomberg’s always-excellent Mark Gurman disagrees with Prosser, though he hasn’t offered any alternative dates as yet. Speaking to me, Prosser also confirmed they “are 100% what’s in the system right now”, something he states he has seen with his own eyes. So, unless this is an elaborate Apple trap to catch Prosser’s source(s), fans are in for a longer wait.

But will the iPhone 12 range be worth the wait? Perhaps. While upgraders can look forward to new display sizes, including a 5.4-inch iPhone 12 and 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max, a multi-generational performance leap, impressive new styling, competitive pricing and 3D mapping camera tech on the Pro models, there are concerns. The biggest potential deal breaker is their surprisingly small batteries.  While they have cancelled high refresh rate displays and the notch looks increasingly bad in 2020. 

The silver lining? At least you’ll now have more time to make up your mind.
