They need to keep USB-C until they figure out another way to transfer large ProRes videos from the iPhone. Wifi is just too slow.

Probably see WiFi upgrades to laptops first before client devices. So another year or two before that gets solved

But its like fundamental physics and it doesn’t make sense to ditch wires — it will always take more energy and more loss to transport anything in a medium of distant molecules vs a tightly coupled one with interesting properties.

And for what benefit? That port is already water-proof.

Who cares? How many people are dropping their phone in the ocean and retrieving it?

How many people have wound up with unusable phones due to accidentally dropping it in water? Sink, bath, toilet, stream, pool, spa, etc?

I care. It's a safety / insurance feature.

They're IP68 resistant, those scenarios are pretty much covered already.
