Reports about what will be in the 2020 iPhones are hitting the wire. We’ve compiled the most notable ones here, but take these with a big grain of salt. Even if these reports are accurate representations of what suppliers are saying, or come from moles within Apple itself, the company’s plans can and do change. There’s still plenty of time before the design and features have to be totally set in stone.
Update 07/01/20: According to numerous reports, the iPhone 12 won't include earbuds or a charger in the box this year.
No charger or earbuds in 'exquisite' box
If there's one thing we can count on with a new iPhone, it's that it will include a pair of Lightning EarPods and a charger in the box. That likely won't be the case with the iPhone 12. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will be dumping both accessories from its next iPhone to cut costs. And a follow-up report from mysterious but often-accurate l0vetodream on Twitter reports that "the new packaging box (will) become thinner and exquisite." Apple might offer discounts on AirPods for anyone who needs earbuds or cut the price of its existing chargers, but whatever tha case it looks like you'll be paying extra if you want one.
