We discovered another current mention of this survey, from fellow Brazilian Twitter user @bedabb_, so it appears like Apples study may be restricted to that country. In this second case, Apple asked about the charger that featured the users previous iPhone 7 Plus.
Amid several reports that Apple will no longer include a power adapter in its iPhone boxes beginning with the iPhone 12 later this year, it appears Apple is surveying recent iPhone buyers to inquire about what theyve done with the power adapters that featured their previous iPhones.

Apples studies typically cover various elements of its items, however Brazilian Twitter user @Gunstaxl
just recently noted (
by means of 9to5Mac) that the iPhone survey he got included numerous concerns about how he uses the battery charger, including one particularly dealing with the fate of the battery charger that was included with his previous iPhone, an
iPhone XR.
Amongst the possible responses to Apples concern about the fate of the previous battery charger:
Apple seems preparing its own 20-watt fast-charging adapter that would be offered as a separate accessory, an upgrade over the 18-watt adapter that presently ships in the box with the iPhone 11 Pro and iPad Pro and is also offered on a standalone basis.
Provided it to a relative or good friend
Recycled it
Lost or lost it
No longer working or not working well
Still utilizing it in the house
Still using it outside of my home (e.g., work, school, other location).
Still have it, but do not use it.
Offered it or traded it in with the iPhone.
While still just a rumor at this point, the concept of Apple eliminating the power adapter from the iPhone box has actually definitely created debate, although eliminating the adapter will save Apple money, minimize e-waste, and enable for more shipping effectiveness. Lots of users currently have various adapters from previous iPhone and iPad purchases, while some may choose other charging options such as multi-port battery chargers or wireless battery chargers.
