Apple made billions of dollars by removing headphones and charger from iPhone
As you know, Apple once stopped putting EarPods with their smartphones. Then, after the headphones, the charger was removed from the kit. Apple explained this decision by concern for the environment. However, there is also a direct financial benefit.
The Cupertino giant has reportedly earned about $6.5 billion from more modest iPhone kits. In this case, we are talking about the time period since the start of deliveries of the iPhone in a simpler configuration. Since then, the company has sold about 190 million smartphones. Thus, on one iPhone, the company earned about $ 34 thanks to a truncated delivery set. In addition, the company earned about $293 million more from the sale of related accessories.
Of course, these calculations do not take into account the rise in the cost of the components of the new iPhone, but these details are not required here. The bottom line is that Apple cut direct costs without changing prices.

Xiaomi showed Redmi Buds 4 Pro with “super noise reduction system”. Headphones set a new industry record
Redmi CEO Lu Weibing has posted a new image of the Redmi Buds 4 Pro flagship fully wireless earbuds on his Weibo page.
Redmi Buds 4 Pro will offer an ultra-low latency of 59ms, which is a new industry record according to the company leader. He stated that Redmi Buds 4 Pro are perfect for the flagship smartphone Redmi Note 11T Pro+. But this is clearly a marketing statement, so the headphones will work fine for other phones as well.
Earlier it became known that the Redmi Buds 4 Pro headphones have been tested and certified by the Chinese Institute of Metrology. Redmi Buds 4 Pro offer a 43 dB “Super Noise Canceling” system.
Lu Weibing stated that the Redmi Buds 4 Pro should be the best noise canceling headphones under $150.
Redmi Buds 4 Pro will be presented today along with Redmi Note 11T series smartphones.

World’s first AirPods with USB-C. The creator of the iPhone X with USB-C decided to take on the headphones
A student at the Federal Polytechnic Institute of Switzerland, Ken Pillonel, continues his experiments in transferring Apple devices to the USB-C interface. After his success with the iPhone X, he turned to AirPods.
The rework process in this case is not yet accompanied by text, so there are practically no details. The author only noted that it turned out to be easier to pull off such a trick with headphones than with the iPhone.
Whether the author will sell these headphones, as he did with the iPhone X, is still unknown. But it is reported that this is an open source project, so anyone can repeat it if they wish.
