A portless iPhone is a dream, but there is zero evidence that it's coming next year and there are a lot of obstacles to overcome...
It's easy to understand why we keep on hearing about this: a portless iPhone sounds like a dream device akin to flying cars, with no cables to worry about, and conveniently for Apple, this means even slimmer boxes with no cable inside, a win-win. Plus, even reliable analysts considered it possible a few years ago, so... maybe it can happen after all?
So... is there something that going portless will achieve for Apple? Will it speed up the advent of a certain technology that is still imperfect or non-existent? The answer is no, all major wireless functionalities are already here, and while some were indeed sped up with the removal of the headphone jack, we don't see any new technology that will benefit from such push on the charging side.
And don’t forget that MagSafe is expensive. You need to buy a MagSafe compatible charger and a charging brick. That’s $40 for the Apple-branded wireless charger and $20 for the brick, so at least $60 just to charge your phone. Not something every customer would be willing to spend.And what about emergencies? Imagine needing to charge your phone quickly.
And that is just one use case, there is a countless other cases where achieving a low latency is only possible with a cable. The reality is that an iPhone for many people is a sort of a hub towards a larger ecosystem, and the way you connect to those other devices is via a good old reliable physical port.If you ever had a software issue with your iPhone, you probably know that to resolve that, the phone often needs to be connected to a PC or a Mac to run it in recovery mode or reset it.
Mic quality is not the only thing, though. High-fidelity audio requires a lot of bandwidth passing between your phone and your headphones, and common wireless standards like Bluetooth just don’t support that. If you are an audiophile with a pair of expensive headphones, chances are you need a wired connection to enjoy them fully.
