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.

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

                Anonymous, 17 Mar 2025Am 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
