It has been reported that Apple may not have included wired Headphones (EarPods) in the packaging of the latest phone, other than removing the charger from the iPhone 12.
In a research report to investors in May, Ko said he expects Apple to drop its wired headphones to increase demand for AirPods. Wired headphones have been included since the first iPhone was released more than ten years ago.
Ko believes that one of the reasons why Apple isn't installing a charger and headphones on the iPhone 12 is one of the reasons for higher production costs due to 5G support.
