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 would be careful with the body temperature statement :)

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.
