      Rodolf, 11 Feb 2023Next.. EU should force returning of microsd card slots and ... moreThat will not happen anytime soon. The card slot and audio jack are extinct from most flagships, but plenty phones still have them (affordable to midrange since most of that category buyers still look for it)

      Flagship buyers mostly don't care about lack of those so unlikely that those features will return on high- end phones again. In fact, portless or at least button less phones will be the future

          I wonder if they will stick to USB 2 on pro models as well. When iPad Pro with lightning came out half a decade ago, it used a faster USB standard. Apple never gave it to iPhones so I wonder if they ever plan to do it.

Fast charging works but the fastest charging is limited to each brand's proprietary cable because only that proprietary cable can handle the fastest charging safety as that's their own tech. You're just making things up.

So much hate with the notch before, with the dynamic island, with the non removable battery before, with the exclusion of adapter in the box, and so on.... BUT android phone manufacturers are adapting it too... And Apple's iPhone is to blame? Did Apple tell them to do the same? Apple is not begging these bitter people to buy iPhones anyway. Haters gonna hate I guess? LOL

                            Once again proven that their reason to not use standard ports is selfish and force people to buy multiple useless accessories
