The IT engineer named the reasons for Sony's refusal of charging wires

Sony's decision to abandon charging units is not only related to the environment, but also to the desire to increase the company's revenue. On October 7, IT engineer Vyacheslav Kabanov told Izvestia.

"It all started from the moment when they stopped putting charging packs in the kit with the phone. This is what Apple, Samsung and other Android manufacturers do. The reason is ecology. The second reason is additional income," the expert said.

He drew attention to the fact that many users still have old chargers, which are great for new smartphone models.

Kabanov said that savings on logistics play an important role in this process. He explained that a phone with a unit takes up twice as much space as a smartphone without a unit, which allows manufacturers to reduce transportation and storage costs.

"This is how all manufacturers will sell phones without wires and charging units in the near future, and this will not affect smartphone sales in any way," the expert concluded.
