Since 2020, customers buying a new iPhone no longer have a charger included in the box. According to Apple, this omission was aimed at reducing packaging waste as well as e-waste. The company explained that this move means it has to consume fewer raw materials for each iPhone sold, and it also allows for a smaller retail box, which means 70 percent more units can fit on a single shipping pallet, thereby reducing carbon emissions (Calma, 2020).
