Only in Spain and at this price, the iPhone will bring a charger again

Pedro Sánchez closed the agreement with Tim Cook

The same Prime Minister himself traveled to Cupertino on Monday to meet with Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. Both were talking about various topics such as the good weather in California even at this time or how Real Madrid is moving away from its rivals in their fight for LaLiga. Even Cook joked with the well-known phrase of Josep Pedrerol’s “Tic Tac” in reference to the arrival of Kylian Mbappé to the Madrid team.

The president of the executive, already in a hurry to get home to dinner on time, insisted to Cook on the need for the Samsung Galaxy to bring a standard charger. Cook looked at him in surprise and Sánchez stammered for a few seconds when he was aware of the error and blurted out “It was another joke my friend,” at the same time that he tapped him on the shoulder and laughed.

Already getting serious about the matter (or so we think), Sánchez reached a historic agreement with the top executive of Apple: make the iPhone come again with a power adapter in Spain. Of course, we still do not know the reaction of the Spanish, although there are already some groups that are protesting against this decision because we are in the middle of a rise in the electricity bill, since adding one more consumer element sounds counterproductive.

Beware of Apple’s fine print

Theoretically the idea was that each buyer of an iPhone could see the power adapter incorporated in the box, but this is not the case, since all iPhones will raise their price by 25 euros. “So what do we gain if it costs the same as buying the adapter separately?” asked Armando Bronca, an anonymous man who was in the seat next to the Spanish president on the plane back to Madrid. Sánchez replied “f ** k, well now it comes in the box and before it was separate.” Then he tapped him a couple of times like Cook and Armando fell flat (we don’t know if because of how strong the president is or because Armando had had three Melendi whiskeys during the flight).

Tim Cook explains the consequences of this measure

The CEO of the Californian company was not exactly happy about this measure. He attended yesterday as a guest the successful late show in the United States hosted by Andrew Goodfont and made these statements:

«It deeply saddens me that in countries like Spain the power adapter is once again part of the iPhone packaging. We were already seeing the positive environmental consequences after removing it. Doñana Park was greener than ever and Madrid’s skyline looked smog-free like never before. Not even with Carmena he was like that, kid. ” The latter was said by Cook giving a tap to the presenter, in the purest Sánchez style and the president is also leaving his mark on people.

When will this measure be effective?

If you are about to buy an iPhone, you may be wondering when you will have to do it to have your charger already incorporated. Unfortunately, it is not known for sure, but you can check it yourself on the website that the Government has created to follow it, by clicking here.
