No Charger, No EarPods Saves Apple $6.5B

A new report finds that $Apple (AAPL.US)$ has been able to save $6.5 billion by removing chargers and earphones from the packaging of its new iPhones.
What Happened: Two years ago Apple announced that it would be removing the power adapter and earphones from iPhone boxes in order to cut waste and reduce annual carbon emissions by two million tons, the equivalent of taking 500,000 cars off the road.
Since the announcement, Apple is estimated to have shipped 190 million iPhone units. Totaling up the amount of money Apple has saved from this cost-cutting measure and adding the amount of money it saved on shipping comes to £5 billion (or $6.5 billion), according to an analysis by the Daily Mail.
