Apple on Tuesday stated it would no longer be shipping USB power adapters with Apple Watch devices as part of an attempt to decrease its environmental impact.
The decision was made by Lisa Jackson Apple’s vice president of environment, policy, and social ambitions during the company’s “Time Flies” live stream event, in which it declared the new Apple Watch Series 6 and cheaper Apple Watch SE.
Excluding the power adapter proposes new Apple Watch customers won’t have access to the device that plugs into the wall. Still, they should nevertheless receive Apple’s custom Apple Watch cable that recharges the device wirelessly.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, this move won’t be limited to Apple Watch devices; it will also incorporate upcoming iPhones.
Apple may be preparing an iPhone-specific live stream event for later this year, likely in October, where it could declare a related removal of USB power adapters from the boxes of its new smartphones.
