All iPhone 12 Models Include MagSafe Support, No Headphones, No Power Adapter
Particularly noteworthy is that all new iPhone 12 models do not include EarPods (headphones), nor do they include a power adapter wall charger, which Apple claims “often go unused.” Instead, all iPhone 12 models will include a single USB-C to Lightning cable, which if you want to plug into a wall to charge the iPhone will require an additional purchase of a power adapter for $19, or the purchase of a MagSafe charger.
Additionally, all iPhone 12 models also include support for MagSafe accessories, which is basically the ability to magnetically adhere cases and wallets to the phone. With an optional additional purchase of a MagSafe Charger, you can also charge the new iPhone models that way too. Longtime Apple fans may recognize the MagSafe name from the companies Mac lineup, where it used to grace the power cables of Apple’s laptop, but fell out of favor with the introduction of USB-C.
