I agree. I still use the iPhone dock that supports the whole weight of the phone with the lightning port. I've had no issues. It was totally designed to enable a minimalist Apple retail store aesthetic. I'm convinced that's the only reason for the design. Totally unnecessary design constraint, but very cool...talk about a company with a holistic view of their products, thinking about how details of the design will aid retail display. I'm still looking forward to a USB-C iPhone, if Apple doesn't go portless (fingers crossed on that).
