Apple is Removing the USB Power Adapter From Upcoming Apple Watch Boxes (theverge.com) 109

Posted by msmash from the how-about-that dept.
Apple on Tuesday announced it would no longer be including USB power adapters with Apple Watch devices as part of an effort to reduce its environmental impact. From a report: Removing the power adapter means new Apple Watch customers won't have access to the device that plugs into the wall, but they should still receive Apple's custom Apple Watch cable that recharges the device wirelessly. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, this move won't be restricted to Apple Watch devices; it will also include upcoming iPhones.

    • Most of those power adapters go unused since we now tend to have more devices than we do wall ports where we frequently charge our devices (for me its the night stand). I ordered a Multi-outlet charger that has 4 USB A chargers and two USB C chargers for the MacBook Pros, iPads, and extra battery chargers I have.

      That being said, Apple sells those chargers for $19, so to protect the environment and not have it seem like it was economically motivated, the prices should have been reduced by $19 on the watches

        Does your wall charger output 12W (type A) or 18W (type C)? I doubt it.

        I use all the high-power chargers I've gotten (from iPads or while traveling overseas). Apple should have upgraded the 5W chargers to the better chargers. The cost is negligible and their motto used to be "it just works." As in, everything you need is in the box. This nickel and diming bullshit is good for the stock price but terrible for customer loyalty.

        • My outlet will do 30W usb-c if it's the only device plugged in. Makes me not need to have a specialized laptop charging cable in the living room, one cable charges all of my mobile devices.
        • My unit has 100W between the two USB-C connectors (convenient, as I need to MacBook Pro 15" to remain charged as I use it), and use quick charge for the USB-A ports. TBH I'm not sure what that means watt wise, but if you want a link to it: This is what I recently purchased [amazon.com]. HTHs

        It's fine that Apple is no longer providing the charger in the box. The least that they could do is insert a card for a free charger that you can redeem either at an Apple store or via mail (with postage paid both ways). If the only reason that Apple is not providing the charger in the box is to be more environmentally friendly then they shouldn't have a problem with this proposed solution. If the reason they are doing this is so that they can add a few extra dollars profit I say shame on them. They are sitting on enough cash that they can easily afford to include a voucher for a free charger. They would probably still increase there profits over shipping the charger in the box (not everyone will redeem the voucher).

        • No, because then people will send in the card whether they actually need the adapter or not ("hey, free stuff!") - so they can turn around and sell it on either eBay or Amazon Marketplace.

          It *would* be fine, if they would switch to using a ubiquitous connector like usb c instead of a lightning port.

          Otherwise just they are trading the environmental impact of supplying a charging cable for the environmental impact of drawing more power to charge wirelessly than what could be achieved via cable charging.

          Either way, the consumer pays for it.

        • I bet you its more to do with getting rid of the usb connector so if you need to transfer any data of any kind on or off your phone you are going to have to do it through apple approved software. Oh, and I also bet the wireless chargers will be proprietary and cost at least twice what an equivialent does.
        • If their concern is environmental, then why would they force people to buy separately packaged adapters? I don't have a watch, but my last iPhone came in a biodegradable box with plastic only in the shrink wrap and a cable tie. Buy an adapter and/or cable separately and it will probably come in a plastic clamshell. Thus, Apple has caused a net increase in waste plastic.

              You need an X-ray to verify the soldering of any BGA device. But it is not limited to BGA, any device package where you can not directly see the solder joints requires an X-ray to verify. It is not really attributed to high densities although higher pin counts do represent more possible faults.

              But the X-ray is only really used at the start of a production run. You make some boards and use the X-ray to verify that the soldering profile being used is sufficient. Different PCBs have different thermal characteristics so you never really know a solder profile is good until you try it. Once verified, multiple boards can be assembled without using an X-ray on each board.

              When installing individual parts, the X-ray is often skipped. You only heat the specific part of the board you are soldering to and you can manually verify that the IC reflows onto the board. You just look through the microscope and watch for when the solder balls melt and the IC "drops" into place. All 4 sides need to "drop" into place. Then, heat it up just a bit more and you are done. If the board now works correctly then the soldering job was a success. There is no real need to X-ray at this point because it is a one-of job / product.

              But if you have BGA devices then you probably also have a complex PCB where traces are often hidden. Multiple layers, hidden vias, via in pads, etc. So you never know if an IC is blown or there is a board fault due to a broken trace. Perhaps a trace breaks when removing an IC - it is very easy to do. The odds of a successful repair go down and it becomes even more desirable to not even bother trying.

            • I've heard that you pretty much need X-ray to verify the soldering on those.

              That's just standard QC for a high end electronics manufacturer, not any kind of obscene requirement. The equipment needed to do that fits on a desk (though it's usually floor standing with a cabinet underneath).

    I find it interesting that everything that is being done for the sake of "environmental impact" also happens to save the company a shit-ton of money. In this case, Apple is saving money not only due to the fact that it doesn't have to manufacture as many power adapters, it will also save them a bunch of money on shipping costs since it will cut down on the package weight, and they may even be able to shrink down the package size as well.

    But if Apple truly cared at all about the environment, they would allow their customers to upgrade and replace the memory and storage in their laptops. Worse yet, when the memory or storage in a MacBook fails, they require you to pay for a whole new board instead of just the component that failed. If they really cared about reducing waste, they wouldn't ignore industry-standard integrated circuits in their computers for the purpose of using proprietary chips which can be prevented from getting into the hands of third-party repair services who could help extend the life of the device.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think excluding USB power adapters is inherently a bad move. Most people already have at least one power adapter at this point and it will definitely cut down on waste. I'm just calling attention to Apple's true motivations here.

      That would be fine if the iPhone used a ubiquitous connector type. It does not.

      If Apple were remotely serious about this "environmental impact" bullshit, they would switch the iphone from lightning to USB-C.

      Otherwise all they are doing is passing environmental impact costs to the consumer who must either purchase a cable or else be nickled and dimed over the lifetime of the device on account of wireless charging drawing more power.

      • They're still including the cable, it's the USB "brick" that plugs into the wall socket they're leaving out and Apple uses standard USB ones for those.

    • Buy a few of them for $3 a piece on Amazon (or eBay, if you want to be eco-friendly and buy second hand). Drawer of chargers established. It's not like they're a rare commodity, or have an expiration date.

      I also wouldn't be surprised if wall outlets with built-in USB ports become more commonplace in new builds.

  • I'm glad they're improving their electronic monitoring bracelet
  • Such a bold move towards the eventual goal of only being able to charge your devices at the Apple Store. After all, non-Apple electricity may cause your Apple device to not perform as it should. Therefore Apple recommends all devices be charged at your local Apple store for only $20/Wh. This electricity will come with support from an Apple genius, of course.

    I'm glad at least Louis Rossman exposes the nonsense spewing from Apple about repair.

  • Quit putting out so many goddamned new things every fucking year. A good-sized chunk of the planet's pollution is directly attributable to Apple.

  • Remove peripheral item from product box. Sell product at same price. It's the tech world version of the grocery store shrink ray.
  • On the environment that is.

    Why? Well for one, people will still want to plug in, so they'll buy a separate charger/adapter, which means an extra set of packaging, possibly in a less environmentally-friendly package than the cardboard boxes Apple uses. That's right, by not including their own, Apple is driving consumers to purchase more individually packaged products. Probably in those plastic clamshells. Apple gets to pretend they're reducing their impact, but they're just making someone else's worse

  • People will just buy them on Amazon. I get every gesture is important for the good of the environment, but at the price Apple sells, this is all air and no substance ðY(TM)
    • I have never used the charger in the box, I always have an AuKey fast charger with usb c and usb + 3 tips cable (USB C MICRO USB AND LIGHTNING) and the price of the 6 series is cheaper than the series 5 (steel anyway). Otherwise the usb sockets there are everywhere (bus, car, computer, airport etc.) and generally a watch is recharged at home so good ... https://getappvalley.com/ [getappvalley.com] https://tutuappx.com/ [tutuappx.com] https://tweakbox.mobi/ [tweakbox.mobi]
