Because knowing Apple, they will probably do this in their own way. In other words, they will probably remove the charging port altogether and force people to use only wireless charging (of course the chargers for iPhones will be more expensive and propriety to Apple).
    Taking a step further into pessimism, the other Android manufacturers will see this, will see how Apple is making tons of money from wireless charging, so they will implement it to in future Android phones. So basically, in 3-5 years time, almost all smartphones will be without charging ports (at least the flagship and mid-range ones).

    But, of course, I am a pessimist, maybe it will not be that bad.

      A sad day for the fruit logo company and its anti-consumer policy.
