Mark Gurman: iPhones are moving to USB-C measure next year, but it's "just a stopgap"

10 October 2022
The analyst believes that Apple's ultimate goal is to make devices that only use wireless (i.e. inductive) charging.

    Obviously they're going to remove lighting/usb port altogether and other companies will mindlessly follow. And consumers will suffer but most are too dumb to realize anyway.

      Why oh why would they switch to only wireless charging.....

      It's way more inefficient, it produces more heat, and its slower, only real advantage is you only once have to plug in your charger and that's it, but is spending 5s of your life really that hard?

      It's clear why Apple would do this, cash, they probably won't include wireless chargers if they switch to no charging connector desgin, solely to earn more cash.

            "Wi-Fi is faster, in case you were worried about the wireless-only future"
            you know what's faster than Wi-Fi? - USB 3 and there is even USB4 now 😉

              notafanboy, 10 Oct 2022I gotta say I am kinda curious about next year's iPhon... moreim pretty sure oppo removed the telephoto lens in order to save manufacturing cost. or they think better sensor dont need dedicated optical zoom🤔

                I gotta say I am kinda curious about next year's iPhones. Since periscope zoom (5x) is reserved for the 15 Pro/Pro Max, I wonder if they will have the stones to put a normal 3x telephoto on the vanilla 15. I think that would be great for everyone because surely Android brands would follow and introduce telephoto with at least 3x zoom on more devices. For some reason brands like Oppo have gone backwards and completely removed periscope telephoto from their phones!

                  "You know, it took courage to do so. We are innovating once again. This time, we bring you an Super Folded Lens capable of 5x optical zoom, made possible by removing our beloved lightning port. We couldn't have done this without removing the port. Other ways will only lead to increased thickness or size. "
