Well, this is one way of breaking the back of apples long standing practice of selling a charger for 50 dollars.

The accessories market is a big deal to apples bottom line, because the raw phone hardware is not desperately different otherwise to anything android. ARM chip, a bit of RAM, SD card and a screen.

Expect price point of next iPhone to go up a bit to make up the loss in accessory bs.
