Drive China reported on 14th, 2022 that the iPhone 14 series has now started pre-sale and will be officially released on September 16th. According to the official report of Apple , if the computer is activated before 8 a.m. on September 16, if the dealer activates iPhone 14 Pro/Max in advance, he will be fined 200,000 yuan per unit.
At the same time, as before, the iPhone 14 series packaging box does not include power adapters and EarPods. A USB-C to Lightning cable is included in the box, which supports fast charging and is compatible with USB-C power adapter and computer port.
Of course, this move naturally aroused dissatisfaction among netizens around the world. But, Apple said in an emailed statement: "At Apple, everything we do takes into account our impact on people and the planet. In the manufacturing process of power adapters, we need to use zinc and plastics heavily, and not with a charger will help reduce carbon emissions by more than 2 million tons, which is equivalent to reducing emissions of 500,000 cars per year." In short, it is to attribute it to environmental protection.
But then again, although Apple prohibits booting and activation in advance, some people are still in a bad mood. Recently, a live broadcast platform has unboxing live broadcasts on iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Judging from the pictures circulated on the Internet, this iPhone 14 Pro Max has been activated and turned on, and the live broadcaster is demonstrating the unique "Lingdong Island" function of the iPhone 14 Pro series. But according to Apple's policy, relevant dealers provided to the live broadcast platform may be fined.
At the same time, if dealers activate new phones in advance, they will be disqualified from the agency, and Apple will no longer cooperate with these dealers, which is also very expensive.
