Will the iPhone cancel the charging port?
Therefore, will it drive greater market sales of wireless chargers? As I said, brand owners must make arrangements with wireless charger manufacturers in advance.
Some time ago, famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said on social media: that the iPhone 15 is likely to adopt a “non-porous design”.
The so-called non-porous refers to the cancellation of all physical buttons on the iPhone, and conversion to touch buttons. In order to make it feel more realistic, corresponding vibration feedback will be added, similar to the touch Home button of iPhone 7 and iPhone 8.
This news did not cause much waves among users, but it made China’s domestic technology media boil.
However, if the iPhone 15 really uses touch volume and lock screen keys, as reported, it also means that the physical mute switch that has been retained since will disappear, or exist in another form.
In this way, I would like to talk to you today about Apple’s “pervasive” philosophy. Apple canceled the headphone jack in the early days and, switched to AirPods. including the later sales of AirPods and the enhancement of the waterproof performance of mobile phones. It can be said to be a very successful case of “digging holes”.
In fact, on the iPhone 12 series, Apple has brought something new and old: Magsafe magnetic charger. By adding a circle of magnets to wireless charging, it changes the new wireless charging method of the iPhone series and becomes a backup option for mobile phone charging.
MagSafe has many advantages
First of all, the wireless magnetic attraction makes the position more accurate during wireless charging, thereby solving the problem of charging efficiency.
In addition, wireless charging can also have the experience of magnetic suction wired charging. Of course, the logic of this implementation is a bit superfluous.
But in fact, it can solve the problem that consumers can hold it in their hands when charging wirelessly, and can also avoid dragging the phone when touching the charging line.
A series of magnetic accessories have been extended, such as Magsafe magnetic charging, magnetic wallet, magnetic mobile phone holder, etc. These are its advantages.
5 reasons to cancel the charging port
1. European Union Regulations
The European Parliament passed a bill in early October this year. This requires that from the autumn of 2024, all new mobile phones, tablets, cameras, and other portable smart devices in the EU must use the USB Type-C universal charging interface. The European Union will require the popularization of wireless charging technology by the end of 2026. After this, the US Consumer News and Business Channel reported that Greg Josvik, Apple’s senior vice president of global marketing, said that Apple would “have to comply” with the European Union’s regulations on the unified charging interface of electronic devices. This evidence indicates that Apple will cancel the Lightning interface in the future and may temporarily switch to the Type-C interface.
2. MagSafe Data Transmission
MagSafe actually has a certain data transmission function.
3. MFM Certification
MagSafe also has certification, officially called MFM certification. This may become a new means for Apple to “lay down and make money”.
4. Lightning Interface Bottleneck
Because the transmission rate of the iPhone’s Lightning interface still stays at the USB 2.0 standard, the iPhone’s data transmission is currently encountering a bottleneck. For example, in the iPhone 14 Pro, a 48-megapixel ProRAW photo is about 75MB.
5. Airdrop
Airdrop is currently the fastest transmission method for iPhone.
For mobile phone products, wireless and non-porous are the major trends in the future mobile phone industry. All mobile phone manufacturers are working hard in this direction, such as Xiaomi, Lenovo’s remote charging, vivo, and Meizu’s non-porous design. Manufacturers are making breakthroughs and making trade-offs.
However, due to the current state of technology and ubiquity, there are still big problems for a non-porous phone to come into the world. Apple is a mobile phone manufacturer that will start laying out a new technology matrix very early.
As Apple increasingly applies wireless technology, more mobile phone manufacturers are expected to enter this field in the future.

Si l’iPhone abandonne le port de charge, ce sera une révolution. Le MagSafe est déjà très pratique, et cela pourrait vraiment simplifier nos vies.
Me parece interesante que Apple esté considerando eliminar el puerto de carga. MagSafe ha demostrado ser una buena alternativa y las regulaciones europeas podrían acelerar esta transición.
If Apple does remove the charging port, it will be a huge step forward for wireless technology. I’m really excited about the potential for more efficient and safer charging methods!
This analysis on the potential removal of the iPhone’s charging port is both intriguing and thought-provoking. As the industry continues to evolve towards a more wireless future, it makes sense that Apple would lead the charge with such innovations. The discussion around MagSafe, EU regulations, and the limitations of the Lightning interface provides a comprehensive view of the factors driving this possible change. While there are certainly challenges to overcome, especially with current technology, the shift to a fully wireless and portless device seems inevitable. It will be interesting to see how Apple and other manufacturers address these hurdles in the coming years.
Me gustó mucho la parte sobre los proveedores. Como pequeño emprendedor, encontrar opciones con MOQ bajos y precios competitivos es clave para mí.
