Spot on! I read the article and for some reason thought that Apple has made a big mistake. You’ve reminded me that I literally never plug my iPhone in. I charge with MagSafe and transfer everything over the network.

Next iPhone should have no port!

I use MagSafe in my car and next to my bed, but I do appreciate the faster charging of a cable when my battery is low.

I do feel that the differences and selling points of these devices vs the previous devices have gotten so trivial though.

USB C is nice, but the suggestion in their presentation that I carry around a usb charger for my Apple Watch and would charge my Apple Watch from their device “directly” or that a millimeter this way or that way in width or thickness matters at all. These things are just the most trivial differences. I can’t believe I spent over an hour watching their stupid presentation.

I use my port constantly, and your use case isn't everyones.
