5 Reasons to Judge That the iPhone Will Cancel The Charging Port

Will the iPhone cancel the charging port?

Therefore, will it drive greater market sales of wireless chargers? As I said, brand owners must make arrangements with wireless charger manufacturers in advance.

Some time ago, famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said on social media: that the iPhone 15 is likely to adopt a “non-porous design”.

The so-called non-porous refers to the cancellation of all physical buttons on the iPhone, and conversion to touch buttons. In order to make it feel more realistic, corresponding vibration feedback will be added, similar to the touch Home button of iPhone 7 and iPhone 8.

This news did not cause much waves among users, but it made China’s domestic technology media boil.

However, if the iPhone 15 really uses touch volume and lock screen keys, as reported, it also means that the physical mute switch that has been retained since will disappear, or exist in another form.

In this way, I would like to talk to you today about Apple’s “pervasive” philosophy. Apple canceled the headphone jack in the early days and, switched to AirPods. including the later sales of AirPods and the enhancement of the waterproof performance of mobile phones. It can be said to be a very successful case of “digging holes”.

In fact, on the iPhone 12 series, Apple has brought something new and old: Magsafe magnetic charger. By adding a circle of magnets to wireless charging, it changes the new wireless charging method of the iPhone series, and becomes a backup option for mobile phone charging.

MagSafe has many advantages

First of all, the wireless magnetic attraction makes the position more accurate during wireless charging, thereby solving the problem of charging efficiency.

In addition, wireless charging can also have the experience of magnetic suction wired charging. Of course, the logic of this implementation is a bit superfluous.

But in fact, it can solve the problem that consumers can hold it in their hands when charging wirelessly, and can also avoid dragging the phone when touching the charging line.

And a series of magnetic accessories have been extended, such as Magsafe magnetic charging, magnetic wallet, magnetic mobile phone holder, etc. These are its advantages.

5 reasons to cancel the charging port

Since MagSafe has so many advantages, why doesn’t Apple let it flourish? The author of KEEPWIRELESS thinks it is entirely possible.

First of all, the European Parliament passed a bill in early October this year, requiring that from the autumn of 2024, all new mobile phones, tablets, cameras and other portable smart devices, in the EU must use the USB Type-C universal charging interface.

It is worth mentioning, that the European Union requires that wireless charging technology be popularized by the end of 2026.

After this, the US Consumer News and Business Channel reported that Greg Josvik, Apple’s senior vice president of global marketing, said, that Apple would “have to comply” with the European Union’s regulations on the unified charging interface of electronic devices.

These evidences all indicate that Apple will cancel the Lightning interface in the future, and may temporarily switch to the Type-C interface.

Secondly, Magsafe actually has a certain data transmission function.

Third, MagSafe also has certification, officially called MFM certification. which may become a new means for Apple to “lay down and make money”.

Fourth, because the transmission rate of the iPhone’s Lightning interface still stays at the USB 2.0 standard, the iPhone’s data transmission is currently encountering a bottleneck.

For example, in the iPhone 14 Pro, a 48-megapixel ProRAW photo is about 75MB.

Fifth, airdrop is currently the fastest transmission method for iPhone.

For mobile phone products, wireless and non-porous are the major trends in the future mobile phone industry.

All mobile phone manufacturers are working hard in this direction, such as Xiaomi, Lenovo’s remote charging, vivo, and Meizu’s non-porous design. Manufacturers are making breakthroughs and making trade-offs.

But due to the current state of technology and ubiquity, there are still big problems for a non-porous phone to come to the world.

Apple is a mobile phone manufacturer that will start laying out a new technology matrix very early.

As Apple’s application of wireless technology becomes more and more extensive, it is believed that more mobile phone manufacturers will set foot in this field in the future.
