Title is a bit off.
They want to force all electronic devices that have a charging port to have this charging port adhere the usb-c standard.
There's a specific exception for e-readers and ... wireless charging.
So what Apple (and others) can (and probably will) do is continue with the port(s) they have now, just dont have that port be a charging port, and charge wireless.

- foobar33333 5y agoI think the iphone pro will still have a port and likely usb c. They are pushing it as a film making product now and no one wants to copy 50GB + of video over wifi when you could just plug it in.
- mvanbaak 5y agoThey can still use lightning, they just cant have that be the charging port ;-)
