Next Year’s iPhone Might be Portless | Too Soon or Ahead of the Curve?

Latest reports suggest that next year’s iPhone might forgo lightning cable or any cable and go totally portless. Which doesn’t seem far fetched given Apple’s constant denial of USB Type-C port usage on its devices. Although they did give USB-C on a Mac sometime in recent past. But never on their iPhone lineups. So, going portless would give wireless charging a boost, and we might finally get that AirPower everyone was hyping about. Jokes aside, or maybe they’d really bring it back, who knows. Anyway, we can expect this portless phone development as soon as next year, confirmed by Jon Prosser, a well-known and trusted leakster.

This eventually came after the European Union’s new regulations on Universal phone charging. No need to worry about what port to have when you remove all of them. Big brain time, I guess. It looks like Apple might just offer lighting to USB-C converter and that might solve the problem until this portless phone arrives, following which everything might eventually be portless.

A big question now is: Will it come with wireless charger out of the box, or will it be sold separately? Only Apple will tell. Or maybe Jon Prosser before Apple. There’s a lot of things to figure out before going fully portless, and Apple seems like the company to pull it off effortlessly. Maybe not, sometimes. But as the news is out, there’s a chance an Android device might pop-up going fully portless right before Apple releases theirs. We’ll see how it goes in a year or two.


Coming back to iPhone 12, it seems Apple might offer four iPhones in three different sizes pleasing different pricing brackets, with all of them supporting 5G connectivity.
