Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I bet if you polled 100,000 iPhone users and asked them would they rather have a port to charge or a phone that’s more waterproof not a single person would give a shit if the phone was more waterproof.
It’s already waterproof at 18 feet deep for 30-minutes - it’s absolutely not worth the trade off.
I’ve upgraded yearly since the 3GS and the 12 pro might be the last iPhone I have if I can’t charge my phone easily.
Apple should just slap a new smart connector on it similar to the iPad that can be used for charging and data. The phone will still remain portless and apple can sell more new accessories
If you travel and pack light, right now, packing a USB charger with the Lightning cable takes up very little space. The MagSafe charger isn't huge, but it's definitely a bit larger than just the Lightning cable. Just that would kind of give me pause on a portless design. Phones are supposed to be mobile.
CarPlay has entered the chat
dude how am i gonna charge my phone in the car though. and i feel like portable battery banks will be a lil difficult
I absolutely hate this. It comes with no pros and only cons. And it’s not even wireless?? MagSafe chargers are bulky as shit. Besides, I usually use a two meter cable in bed, which will lose even more power.
Restoring these are gonna be fun, plus app/game dev, I need that real time debugging and this would stop that.
Be interesting to see how Apple handles this
The, “When was the last time you used the lightning Port other than to charge your phone” got me. I never thought about it that way, but it’s true.
My biggest concern is Carplay. My brand new car does not do carplay wireless, only by cable. They'd have to release a wireless carplay dongle or they'd be pushing me into Google's arms.
