Apple Now Selling 20W USB-C Power Adapter for $19With the
iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models no longer shipping with a power adapter, Apple has started selling the
20W USB-C power adapter that was first introduced with the
iPad Air on a standalone basis for $19.
The 20W power adapter is included in the box with the ‌iPad‌ Air, but those who want one for use with the new ‌iPhone‌ models will need to shell out $19.
All of the new ‌iPhone‌ 12 models and older ‌iPhone‌ models ship only with a USB-C to Lightning cable, with customers expected to provide their own power adapters. Most people likely have several USB-C power adapters on hand from past device purchases, but this will be an inconvenience for those who have few power adapters available already.
Apple's selling price for the new 20W USB-C power adapter is cheaper than the older 18W USB-C model that used to be available for $29.
According to Apple, the power adapter and EarPods were removed from the ‌iPhone‌ boxes to reduce the company's environmental impact, but rumors have also suggested that this transition helps to save a few dollars to offset the cost of the more expensive 5G modems included in the new devices.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup:
