    On my Android phone I use the charging port frequently to transfer data. So I hope it stays as a concept for now. Because everyone is going to follow that. Most of the wireless solution do not work as good as the cable, when it comes to data transfer.

    • @fetchstixRHD

      On all of my phones I often use the port for data transfer (namely removing/copying photos and other data from my phones to have a backup stored locally, and I'm not a fan of cloud storage for multiple reasons). Especially on Android I love the ease that I can transfer both to and from phones virtually any file you want to, so I hope manufacturers don't follow suit and remove the USB-C ports (and that's before discussing the inefficiencies of wirelessly charging...)

    Wireless charging is less efficient then wired charging. So a power pack would result is lost energy that could be used. There is no better, more reliable method of electrical connection then a physical one. Wireless charging consumes 47% more power then a wire, not to mention the cost. Also a port allows you to back up your phone even if the screen is not functional.

    the part about improving stickiness with rubber is true. I bought a MagSafe case that is rubberized. The wallet sticks to it better because of it. I previously had a hard plastic case, and the wallet would slide off often because it had less friction than the rubber case. The friction makes all the difference.

      I don't think this should wear out that quickly as it doesn't go through the exact same paces a traditional USB or Lightning cable does. You don't really move it around that much nor do you yank it or tear it around or make creases in the cable that much. I also have never replaced a single Lightning cable with my old iPhone 6S Plus, I don't really even get how people treat their cables when they have to replace them every year.

      Then they should not try to invent a problem, just use plain old wired charging, wireless charging is highly inefficient on top of that, so if apple was really worried about env. then a simple move of integrating USBC would solve all problems it would cause less ewaste, it would use more efficient way of charging it, it would not slip way when it is being charged, etc.
      Not to mention that their design of wireless charger is not modular meaning if you break the cable instead of just buying a new cable if you had wired charging brick you will have to purchase an entire new wireless charger

Also, I am sometimes using my iPhone as a microphone input through Audio MIDI Setup, which requires a wired connection (as of right now). So when Apple removes the Lightning port, they better have a solution for both of these things.

    Also I use my lightning port ALL the time so taking it away would be bad news for me. USB audio interfaces for music production, USB connection for multicamera in OBS, testing AR filters in Snapchat Lens Studio and Instagram Spark AR. Probably 90%+ of people only use it for charging but for the hard core creatives that really use the devices to their full potential there better be some serious innovation to make wireless tech work with no latency.

      Wireless charging works exactly the same way normal charging does. Except the power gets transformed two more times on the way. Once, to magnetic energy, then again, back to electric energy. All wireless does is bridge a gap in space. The actual form of power at both ends is still just electricity, the power just goes magnetic in-between.
      That will ALWAYS net a lower efficiency compared to just using the electrical power thru directly, without transformation. There is nothing to "optimize" here. It's physics. It's how the universe and energy works. One is better than the other. Period.

Does the constant tugging on the cord to remove the dock make the cord break fast? What happens if you get the charging dock magnet next to your credit cards... does it de-magnetize them and does it stick to everything that metal? Also, I use my charging port on my Android to connect to the computer all the time for file transfers. Its the most reliable method.

    The biggest problem I have with a portless iPhone is cars. I know some cars support wireless Apple CarPlay, but a lot don’t, my car doesn’t. It requires to be connected to the Lightning Port. And of course I don’t plan on buying a new car anytime soon, as I’m sure a lot of other people who drive late model cars aren’t buying a new one yet. So, the Lightning Port does serve a daily purpose for me, and it being removed would basically mean I could never use CarPlay until I buy a new car.

    The most practical application of magsafe I think it will be a wireless charging holder for the car! Simply getting in your car and throwing your iPhone to a magnetic dock that keeps it in place and charges it, it will be awesome! Also, a magsafe charger glued to my nightstand it will be nice, allowing me to just throw my phone to the charger and knowing it will be aligned perfectly every single time, and at the same time making it easy to grab my phone back without getting the charger with it because it will be glued to the table 🙂

      Theres a kickstarter which lets you convert your car usb to a wireless CarPlay or Android Auto hub. It’ll be like the usb c transition on mac where you had to buy a dongle for everything.

Like rn I got my Mac running on one single cable to a usb monitor and that’s all it need. If the CarPlay is like get in the car drop ur phone on the charger and u good I would actually enjoy that a lot

    Lack of usb-c is one of the last hold outs I have for staying with Android. I have C connectors everywhere, and unused C wall warts in a box. I don't want a whole new system to go back and forth, it's bad enough many devices still have micro USB in 2022

    Would they have to offer a portless iPhone though? Say they ship the iPhone with a Qi charger, OR with no charging cable - they can surely keep the lightning port as an “extra bonus”, and an alternate way of charging.
    Just like how the Mac Mini and iMac have up to date USB C ports, but still throw in a sprinkling of USB A ports.
