In response to environmental protection, the iPhone 12 series no longer comes with a charger and wired headset, only a USB-C to Lightning charging cable. There is also a saying that Apple said that some users already have countless chargers and wired headsets, so they no longer include them. Since these two accessories are removed, the packaging box of the iPhone 12 series is lighter. Each mobile phone has its own advantages. and I’m sure Malaysian fans are most concerned about when to start pre-ordering and when the new mobile phone series will be launched. From the current news, it has not yet been sold in Malaysia.
