Future iPhone devices may give up from the USB-C port. good

I recently had a disclosure during the IPHone 16 Plus Wire Shipping Test. Within six months of ownership, it happened to me when dust blew like an archaeologist who examined an old destiny, I had never Connect a cable in the iPhone USB-C port. It seemed impossible, but it was true.

And I thought. Does iPhone owners need outlets? When reports indicate that Apple is working on a smartphone without an outlet at all, everyone loses their minds. But if I can go half a year without using my iPhone’s USB-C port and not notice, then where is the problem? If Apple wants to get rid of the iPhone’s USB-C port, then I say: Good.

The port at the bottom of the iPhone used to be completely essential for its well -being. Whether 30 pin, lightning or USB-C is finally, the charging/data port is the main road, often the only road inside or outside the iPhone. Regardless of charging, this port was vital in the early days of downloading music and books on the device and obtaining photos and videos. The backup was sync and wireless also. But one after the other is used from wireless, to wire or wireless, to Magsafe, to who still uses a wire?

Most of us will have memories of times when the port’s connection has become unreliable, and the extent of the pain that was this. From that point until you get a new phone, the cable should have a specific way to make it start charging, or the phone should have been placed upside down or at a strange angle. “Don’t use this cable,” warns a friend. “He only plays well with the official Apple One.” Another of that modern comfort that makes life hell.

Recently, this special group has faded from the inconvenience in the background, at least for me. I wirelessly receive wirelessly when it does not care about slow speed. I get my music over broadcasting, not 87 years old, and I transfer everything else wirelessly to and from the phone, and this is not in 2009. Literally, the only time you needed the port since I bought the phone is to test the effectiveness of the port.

Well, you say: Burning for you, you do not need the port. But what is the problem in preserving it as an option? Where is the damage? The harm, my client, is to include the design that the user does not need is a waste of resources and the cause of unnecessary concessions. As I explained when defending the fissure several years ago, the isolated design decisions appeared to have an impact on the match in the rest of the product. And if the Apple can get rid of the USB-C port, it will be able to make the phone better in other different ways.

It is clear that the presence of a physical opening on the phone only requests unwanted things to work on their way. The dust I mentioned earlier; Water and coffee coordinate. The iPhone 16 Plus contains a protection rating from the excellent IP68 IP68, but it took more than a decade to reach this point because the port made it very difficult to maintain dust and water outside the device. Open your iPhone and you will see many design modifications and medium solutions around the port of the port to resist the entire device water; It can be disposed of tomorrow if the port does not exist, which liberates the room inside the structure. This is at the head of the room you will gain from removing the unit of the port itself, of course.

If you have an additional space inside the structure, you can install a larger battery, or transfer other ingredients around it to a more perfect composition. Removing the port can lead to enabling Apple to have a loudspeaker through the full width of the lower edge, and will make access to the interior from your phone to fix a simpler process.

The company can make the iPhone thinner, and bypass the restriction that it currently imposes with the port fish. this year Oppo Find N5And that resort to the USB-C port specifically designed to shave every possible millimeter, is a good example of the way the manufacturers hit a brick wall in their pursuit of phones ever. As long as customers insist on connecting the cables in their phones, companies will not be able to reduce size.

Perhaps the biggest reason that made me want to get rid of the USB-C port is that it will force the industry and society, provided that the bullet finally bites and fully embraces. An apple has a tremendous weight as a power force. When iPhone stopped obtaining 3.5 mm headphones, crocodile makers focused from wireless to wireless headphones (or in some cases, for some time, Lightning or USB-C headphones, and these devices became cheaper, better and widely available. If you lose a large part of the wealthy IPHONE owners of the USB-C ports suddenly, it is possible that the Android manufacturers will follow their example, and the same will happen for wireless wireless weakers.

Cars will start selling them as a standard with Qi2 magnetic pregnant women instead of, or to some extent, the cables that many are currently providing are pronounced. Wireless charging shipments will become common in homes and offices. Companies (including, I expect Apple itself, because it will be keen to appease the European Union organizers) will weigh their weight behind developing the fastest, most efficient and longest wireless charging standards if WIRED is still an easy option.

I don’t imagine for a second that the USB-C port will disappear overnight. If the iPhone 18 series, for example, turns to be without limits, the iPhone 17e will remain with an outlet, not to mention the older generations for sale at a lower price. For those who still want to get an outlet, the option – both for many years, will remain for many years, if the slow death of the home button is anything that goes through.

No one will have to join the revolution immediately. But the revolution is coming, and the more we start, the better.
