Apple Inc. has launched its new M5 MacBook Pro in Europe, but customers will be frustrated to find that a charger is not included in the box.
- The new MacBook Pro will be available in Europe without an included AC adapter, continuing Apples trend of excluding chargers from device packaging.
- In the United Kingdom, users will need to purchase a separate 70W USB-C charger at additional cost, as many may not own a compatible charging brick for MacBooks.
- This decision follows Apples previous policy changes in Germany and other European countries, where iPhones and other devices were also sold without charging accessories.
Why It Matters
This move reflects Apples ongoing strategy to reduce environmental impact and packaging waste, but it raises concerns about consumer costs and accessibility, particularly for new MacBook Pro users in Europe.
