What’s in the Box
Apple continues to remove its pack-in accessories. The box only includes the iPhone 13, USB Type-C to lightning cable, instructional materials, sim-ejector tool, and the Apple stickers – no charger or earbuds included. The main reason why a charger is not included in its box is that Apple has been reducing carbon emissions and lessening the mining of materials used on new chargers.
They recommend that consumers use their old iPhone charging adapter to lessen the negative environmental impact. However, chargers and Apple EarPods can be bought separately.

With the newest and upgraded iPhone 13 specs, its battery life is strong enough for multi-player and graphic-insensitive gaming; and the Smart Data mode keeps the battery life longer when you do not need all the speed on browsing. Its battery life, performance, and excellent camera features make the iPhone 13 worth buying.
