Hmm getting rid of physical plugs will affect a few different workflows.
I think it is currently required to use the iPhone as a webcam on MacBooks. I love that feature.
Most portable chargers assume physical plugs, very few are wireless.
Also my latest vehicle, a 2024 Kia, demands that the phone be physically plugged into the vehicle to do CarPlay. So yeah I want phones to have ports for a while longer.
My older vehicle supported wireless CarPlay but I think it is unreliable compared to wired thus Kia’s decision? I don’t know exactly.
- unsnap_biceps 2y agoWireless CarPlay is considered a luxury feature and is often an upgrade feature for car models or limited to higher end cars. It's silly. My Subaru has a WiFi access point but doesn't support wireless CarPlay until I upgrade the media center, which isn't worth it.
- scarface_74 2y agoThe Hyundai Kona (non EV version) at $24500 is definitely not a high end car and it has wireless car play. We bought the cheapest trim.
- banqjls 2y agoIf you only have wired CarPlay you can buy a dongle that you leave connected to your car to make it wireless.
