San Francisco, Sep 20 (IANS) Apple is expected to launch four new devices under the iPhone 12 series soon and a new report has claimed that keeping the price of 5G-compatible iPhone 12 the same as last years model appears impossible owing to the increased Bill of Material cost which has increased by $50 this year.To save some cost, the company won't be including a charger or wired earphones in the box Apple may sell the 20W charger separately, reports GizmoChina.
