Gurman: Apple wanted iPhone 17 Air to be a port-free device

17 March 2025
It is coming with USB-C but will foreshadow a move to slimmer models without charging ports.

1) S25 Edge to be at least €1200 for 256GB and probably 1400 for 512GB
2) latest news says this iphone is $899
3) mi 16 may be 6.5" screen

      I’m so glad the EU forced Apple to keep the charging port after passing the USB-C requirement back then. I still remember the old rumors (from way back when the EU USB-C requirement was announced) about Apple making port-less iPhones because they REALLY didn’t want to use another kind of charging cable.

      Apple was pretty pissy about ditching MFi lightning cables they made money off of via royalties, and still are to this day. MFi was very predatory.

        looks similar to the nexus 6p

          They would've had to bundle a wireless charger with it, they couldn't just say that everyone already has one anyways.

          Plus it's not like this portless idea has ever worked for any other brand.

            tbh I'd like to see port less phones in future.

            The future is wireless

                Sammy will mock & follow, the disease that continues to recur.

                  Anonymous, 18 hours agoGiven that I always use a case, I don't care all that ... moreBecause camera sensors are getting bigger and bigger, so the devices would need to be thicc to flatten the bump.

                      Anonymous, 18 hours agoAm I the only one who likes it? Reminds me of the Nexus 6P.Given that I always use a case, I don't care all that much, but I will never understand why would anyone like a camera bump/camera lens sticking out of their phone.

                      I still miss the Huawei P10, that phone had an outstanding camera and had it perfectly flat with the rest of the phone's body - why can't we have that now?

                        they wanted thin device without charging port?

                        all I hear is smaller battery + slower charging

                          Port less, but not hole less. Speaker and mic still need a hole, so this basically does nothing other than selling more wireless chargers for them.

                            It's not a meme at this point. Apple will remove the phone from the box in the future
