I think we’re more likely to see a port-less (read MagSafe only) iPhone sooner than a USB-C version. I will say the iPad Pro with USB-C was a revelation for usability though. Not to mention companies like Flir being able to create one product line.
- bluejekyll 6y agoI don’t know about that. The physical port is still useful for hard resets and management of a “bricked” device (granted I’ve only needed that on an older device, and never on the model I currently have).
- yellow_postit 6y agoDoes Apple still get a cut in lightning licensing? If so I think they will move engineering heaven and earth to avoid losing that revenue stream so also agree with the above poster that I’d put money on moving to the wireless.
- quesera 6y agoThat's absurd. There is zero possibility that third-party licensing income for the Lightning port standard is a consideration in any engineering decisions at Apple.
- saagarjha 6y agoApple could keep around a hidden diagnostic port, like they do on Apple Watch and HomePod.
