Apple wants to do away with all external connectors on that phone. My guess is that they won't have any ports once they get rid of the lightning connector.

Not so sure about that, they already added USB-C to many devices, and there are still plenty of use cases where wireless charging is tricky.

I really need a cable to charge my phone while driving, for example.

Additionally, charging wirelessly is much slower, sometimes you just need to be able to charge quickly.

Am I to understand you're having issues with wireless charging while driving?

I was having high hopes for this for riding my motorbike because plugging everything in and routing cables is quite the pain...
