Here's why removing a charging port is a lot more complicated than just removing the headphone jack.
from at least one iPhone in 2021. That means you would only be able to charge it by dropping it on a wireless charging pad.Here are a few reasons why that's a problem, and why removing a charging port is a lot more complicated than just removing the headphone jack.Some cars support wireless CarPlay, Apple's in-car technology that allows you to see Apple Maps, Apple Music and other apps on the biggest screen in your car.
Maybe Apple could add reverse wireless charging to its iPads, which have much larger batteries, so you could at least charge up your iPhone by dropping it on the back of an iPad when you needed to. Right now, companies like Samsung offer this technology: You can recharge Samsung's Galaxy Buds headphones by popping them on the back of a modern Galaxy phone, for example. But this is still too slow to make much sense.
With a completely wireless iPhone, you'd have to either carry the charging puck or find somewhere with wireless charging. Some cafes offer wireless charging areas. But you'd have to plan on being there for a while unless they all offer some much faster wireless charging technology that isn't yet built into iPhones.The smartest solution for Apple would be to switch from Lightning to USB-C. It offers faster charging and is already used by MacBooks and iPads.
One day, we probably will move to completely wireless devices. Maybe there will be a way to charge without a wireless pad you need to prop your device on, or maybe those pads will be able to juice up an iPhone so quickly that you'll only need to use them for a few minutes at a time.
