But its like fundamental physics and it doesn’t make sense to ditch wires — it will always take more energy and more loss to transport anything in a medium of distant molecules vs a tightly coupled one with interesting properties. And for what benefit? That port is already water-proof.

    How many people have wound up with unusable phones due to accidentally dropping it in water? Sink, bath, toilet, stream, pool, spa, etc? I care. It's a safety / insurance feature.
