Mere hours in the past, Apple unveiled the brand new iPad Air 11 and iPad Air 13, in addition to the brand new iPad Professional 11 and iPad Professional 13. The brand new fashions are already up for order in a whole lot of international locations, with transport as a consequence of begin subsequent week.
In some international locations, nevertheless, there is a little bit of an unwelcome shock should you do order. We’re speaking about the EU and the UK, the place should you purchase one among these new tablets, you will not be getting a charger within the field.
It could shock you to listen to, however that is the primary time Apple’s performed one thing like this for its tablets, regardless that iPhones have been transport with no charger within the field for years now. That makes the environmental claims make even much less sense when you consider it – why would a pill charger be higher (or at the least, much less dangerous) for the setting than a cellphone charger?
Effectively, should you stay within the EU or UK, that query is not related. Now, should you purchase a brand new Apple pill, you will be in the identical boat as those that purchase a brand new iPhone – both reuse an present USB-C charger you’ve gotten someplace, or purchase a separate one, which is able to after all ship in its personal packaging, thus creating extra waste, not much less.
However, Apple will get to avoid wasting cash (and thus have some extra revenue), and also you get to be ok with saving the setting (should you do not give it some thought for greater than two seconds). Win-win, proper?
