I hope they do it.
I haven't charged a phone with wires since 2012 and the lack of microSD on the phones already forces me to constantly have to backup my phone to my NAS. And the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack made me stop using my phone to listen to anything that requires headphones.
So the absence of a USB port makes no difference to me. And I can't wait to say "Just use wireless!" to all the smarta*ses that defended and still defend the removal of the headphone jack and expandable storage.
You're so committed to clouds and wireless earbuds? Well, then get used to also charging wirelessly and manage your phone wirelessly.

Anonymous, 18 Mar 2025i wouldn’t consider this a phone if theres no usbyes, you would not consider it even if it had. people are so bound to what they are used to, so that they throttle innovation. the fact is that if apple releases a portless device every other OEM would follow

Look at the new Xiaomi concept phone with an attachable lens. The data is relayed in realtime between the phone and the lens through small magnetic connectors - providing hardware level integration. This could be expanded to data transfers aswell by incorporating such connectors within the MagSafe.

It is 5.5mm thin. It COULD be even thinner even with the USB port. Let's not blame it on the port..

That's gonna be interesting to watch when it charges wirelessly in the summer at 30+°c outside temp and when it drop charging speed to 3-5w cos it's creating so much heat and you need like 2h to just charge 50-60% 🤣
