However, there&#8217;s one country where it can&#8217;t remove the EarPods for fear of breaking the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As&nbsp;MacRumors reports, France insists that every mobile phone includes some form of hands-free kit or headset in a bid to protect children aged under 14 years old from exposure to electromagnetic waves. Failure to do so results in a criminal fine of 75,000 euros. With that in mind, Apple will ship the iPhone 12 in France with EarBuds and a USB-C to Lightning cable in the box. There won&#8217;t be a charger, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple also decided to remove the EarBuds and charger from the&nbsp;iPhone 11,&nbsp;iPhone XR, and&nbsp;iPhone SE, but the same concession will need to be made for those handsets in France. It&#8217;s surely a headache for Apple due to the extra packaging and weight involved, but France has a population of over 66 million people, so it&#8217;s definitely worth the effort for the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s hoped existing chargers, earphones, and headphones will be used by consumers purchasing a new iPhone, but Apple also opted to&nbsp;reduce the price&nbsp;of the EarPods and the 20W power adapter by $10 each. The new MagSafe chargers are sure to be popular, and you can bet Apple will be putting a lot of marketing dollars behind them to encourage further purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iPhone 12 starts at $699 for the iPhone 12 mini, $799 for the standard iPhone 12, $999 for the iPhone 12 Pro, and $1,099 for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro will be available to pre-order first on Oct. 16 and delivered on Oct. 23. Anyone wanting an iPhone 12 mini will have to wait until Nov. 6 to place a pre-order and Nov. 13 for delivery. The iPhone 12 Pro Max won&#8217;t go up for pre-order until Nov. 13 before launching Nov. 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple decided that the&nbsp;iPhone 12&nbsp;would be the first of its smartphones to launch without EarPods and a charger included in the box.
