I thought it was going to have no ports and only wireless charging

Nah, in a move of immense courage they will ditch charging all together and start selling single use iPhones. I can see the dollars rolling in now.

heh, that's kind of the opposite to what I imagined.. which is Apple reigning in the deprecation cycle to a single day.

Notably absent from the list of product categories is wireless charging pads.
So, Apple ditches the wired charging port, and continues to sell their MagSafe Qi chargers with Lightning.

Unless I can charge it with my body temperature, I don't want anything to do with a device that has no connector.

I have been seeing comments like this since the news of the EU law. Does nobody use CarPlay? Most CarPlay systems are wired. I don't see Apple going portless any time soon.

> Fast-Forward to Autumn 2023 or Spring 2024
Since when does Apple introduce new iPhones in the Spring?

iPhone SEs were released in the spring.

Oh good point! But I don't think any new features have ever been released in the Spring — SEs are a different form-factor of existing tech. (I have nothing against them, and my next phone may well be an SE, if the Minis are truly dead).
