production is started
These pieces should have been sent to the production line on 22 October. Since both the phone and the covers are already on the market and work as they should, we suspect that it needs a software update to the lock before actually activated.
Samsung has not gone out with any official response to the allegations, but Etnews reports that the strategy change occurs to prevent unstable cheap chargers that can catch fire during use. They still believe to know that the real reason is that Samsung wants to give his relatively new accessories department a helping hand.
less accessories in the box
If this is true, it namely also talk to attach less accessories in the box with the purchase of the products. Be it handsfree or extra battery in the areas where it currently is standard.
Since both Apple and Samsung are in the process of bumping the ceiling in a mobile market that is starting to be filled, there will be more money to be made on the accessories front.
result may therefore be lower cost of production of everything that is included with the phone when it is new, as well as increased sales of premium accessories that are far more expensive than many of the alternatives in the market.

Already have region lock in Galaxy 3
Regardless of whether the rumors are true, Samsung is already slowly started to build the rafters in the products. It has created some hubbub that Galaxy Note 3 must be activated with the SIM card from the region it was purchased in the first time, and later to work with all types of SIM cards.
It can be a great advantage for cheap batteries, no security mechanisms, and chargers with poor feed disappears from the market. However, the drawback is that the chargers of high quality, as competition from HTC, LG and Sony also will not work if you have one already. There are also many accessories manufacturers in the market that is known for quality products, and neither of these will work without Samsung’s authorization, if it is so rumors are true.
What does the EU this?
Here in Europe there will nevertheless be interesting to see how the watchdog EU reacts to the change in strategy. Standardization of the charging plug into modern phones have been a fad for EU politicians for a long time, both for consumers and ever-growing mountain of electronic waste. The question is how much this standardization is worth, if the plug fits, but Chargers still can not get around each other.
