DarlingYext, 19 Mar 2025Does anyone even want port-less devices?If a portless device can do 100w wireless and can create a direct connection for data transfer with another device with transfer at 2GBps+ why wouldn't you want a portless device?

Just don't buy it. Android is already on par with iOS and there are plenty of options..

How would making a device that used to be charged by ports, entirely a only wirelessly charging device be fair and compliant to the laws they made?
The rule was to make a standard to ensure that smartphone manufacturers claims of "everyone already has a charger" actually becomes true down the line but if they remove the port, who would have a wireless charger lying around?
It's anyways a notoriously inefficient method of charging a device and the long term effects of heat (which is how energy is lost during wireless charging) on devices is well documented to be a battery and performance killer... But who cares right? Anything to sell your secondary associated extremely high profit margin product (Even though iphones already have extremely high profit margins)

"Yes we really care about the environment, btw it's ok for you to make devices that charge at like 40% efficiency"
