Apple should just be super courageous. Their current phones already follow a charging standard: qi. The $5 qi charger at Ikea charges an iPhone just fine. I have one on my desk. Now, you are probably thinking that if something goes wrong, you'd rather be able to fix it than to throw your phone in the trash, generating more unnecessary waste. So Apple should take the lead and put a diagnostic port on each phone. Perhaps at the bottom, in the middle. To reduce the negative environmental impact of designing a new diagnostic port connection cable, Apple should design their diagnostic interface to be compatible with the billions of Lightning and/or USB-C cables already in the hands of consumers and repair shops. That would be courageous.
