In the Galaxy S21 series, which will be released the following year, it is rumored that Samsung would copy Apple. A South Korean news source, ChosunBiz, said that Samsung is thinking of only adding the USB-C charging cable in the retail box of the new Galaxy S21 phone. There hasn’t yet been a definitive decision on shutting it.
Samsung’s S-series phones include headphones, earbuds, and headphones, starting with the original Galaxy S in 2010 and continuing with the most recent Galaxy S20 series. For USB cable charging, a charging brick has been installed. Apple is the first smartphone manufacturer to implement a policy that prohibits the shipment of chargers and earbuds with new iPhones.
Apple claims that the reason they make their phone cases so thin and light-weight is for environmental reasons, but if you look at it another way, it’s just a way to save money and chargers. Also, it is possible to claim that they just sell earphones to make money. Using social media, some rival phone manufacturers made fun of the iPhone 12 retail box’s lack of accessories. Samsung was among them.
Now, Samsung apparently wants to follow Apple’s example. Samsung released adverts making fun of Apple when it decided to take away the 3.5 mm headphone port from the iPhone 7. Later, I noticed that many Samsung smartphones no longer have a headphone jack. Thus, it won’t be shocking if Samsung phones eventually stop coming with chargers and earbuds.
