In six months of ownership, it occurred to me as I blew the dust out like an archaeologist examining an ancient pot, I had <em>never<\/em> plugged a cable into my iPhone\u2019s USB-C port. It seemed impossible, but it was true.<\/p>\n<p>And it made me think. Do iPhone owners even need ports? When reports suggest that Apple is working on a smartphone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/2638996\/successful-iphone-17-air-could-lead-to-portless-and-folding-iphones-from-2026.html\">with no port at all<\/a>, everyone loses their minds. But if I can go half a year without using my iPhone\u2019s USB-C port and not even notice, where\u2019s the issue? If Apple wants to ditch the iPhone\u2019s USB-C port, I say: Good.<\/p>\n<p>The port at the bottom of an iPhone used to be absolutely fundamental to its well-being. Whether 30-pin, Lightning, or latterly USB-C, the charging\/data port was the main, often the only route into or out of the iPhone. Aside from charging, this port was vital in the early days for uploading music and books onto the device and getting photos and videos off it. Syncing and backing up were done via a wired connection, too. But one by one these uses switched from wired only, to wired or wireless, to MagSafe,  to who still uses a wire?<\/p>\n<p>Most of us will have memories of times when the port connection became unreliable, and of how much of a pain this was. From that point until you got a new phone the cable had to be waggled in a specific way to make it start charging, or the phone had to be laid upside down or at some weird angle. \u201cDon\u2019t use that cable,\u201d you\u2019d warn a friend. \u201cIt only plays nicely with the official Apple one.\u201d Just another of those modern conveniences that make life hell.<\/p>\n<div class=\"extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{\" uploadedsrc=\"\" size-large=\"\" image:=\"\" iphone=\"\" magsafe=\"\" charger=\"\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iPhoneMagsafeCharger.png?w=1200\" alt=\"iPhone Magsafe Charger\" class=\"wp-image-2389950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iPhoneMagsafeCharger.png?quality=50&amp;strip=all 1600w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iPhoneMagsafeCharger.png?resize=300%2C168&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 300w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iPhoneMagsafeCharger.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 768w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iPhoneMagsafeCharger.png?resize=1200%2C675&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 1200w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iPhoneMagsafeCharger.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 1536w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iPhoneMagsafeCharger.png?resize=1240%2C697&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 1240w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iPhoneMagsafeCharger.png?resize=150%2C84&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 150w\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: iPhone Magsafe Charger\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\n<p>MagSafe is already a fantastic wireless option for (most) iPhones.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"imageCredit\">shutterstock.com \/ serhatctk<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Of late, however, this particular set of annoyances has faded into the background, at least for me. I charge wirelessly overnight when the slower speed doesn\u2019t matter. I get my music via streaming, not being 87 years old, and I transfer everything else wirelessly to and from the phone, this not being 2009. Literally, the only time I\u2019ve needed the port since I bought the phone is to test how effective the port is.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, you\u2019re saying: bully for you, you don\u2019t need the port. But what\u2019s the problem with keeping it as an option? Where\u2019s the harm? The harm, my Socratic friend, is that including a design element the user doesn\u2019t need is a waste of resources and a cause of unnecessary compromises. As I explained when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/676937\/in-defence-of-the-iphones-notch.html\">defending the notch<\/a> several years ago, seemingly isolated design decisions have a knock-on effect throughout the rest of the product. And if Apple was able to ditch the USB-C port it would be able to make the phone better in various other ways.<\/p>\n<p>Most obviously, having a physical opening on a phone is just asking for unwanted things to work their way inside. The dust I mentioned earlier; water, and spilled coffee. The iPhone 16 Plus has an excellent ingress-protection rating of IP68 but it took Apple more than a decade to reach that point because the port made it so difficult to keep dust and water out of the device. Open up your iPhone and you\u2019ll see numerous design adaptations and compromises around the port module to waterproof the whole apparatus; these could be ditched tomorrow if the port wasn\u2019t there, freeing up room within the chassis. That\u2019s on top of the room you\u2019d gain from removing the port module itself, of course.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got extra room inside the chassis you can install a bigger battery, or move other components around into a more optimal configuration. Removing the port could enable Apple to have a speaker across the full width of the bottom edge, and it would make accessing the internals of your phone for repairs a simpler process.<\/p>\n<p>It could even enable the company to make its iPhones thinner, transcending a limitation currently imposed by the thickness of the port. This year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techadvisor.com\/article\/2605059\/oppo-find-n5-hands-on-an-ultra-thin-foldable-in-its-own-right.html\">Oppo Find N5<\/a>, which resorts to a custom-designed USB-C port to shave off every possible millimeter, is a good example of the way in which manufacturers are hitting a brick wall in their quest for ever-slimmer phones. As long as customers insist on plugging cables into their phones, companies won\u2019t be able to get the size down any further.<\/p>\n<div class=\"extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{\" uploadedsrc=\"\" size-large=\"\" image:=\"\" oppo=\"\" find=\"\" n5=\"\" hands=\"\" on=\"\" half=\"\" open=\"\" bottom=\"\" white=\"\" light=\"\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oppo-Find-N5-hands-on-half-open-bottom-white-light.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1200\" alt=\"Oppo Find N5 hands on half open bottom white light\" class=\"wp-image-2605339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oppo-Find-N5-hands-on-half-open-bottom-white-light.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all 2800w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oppo-Find-N5-hands-on-half-open-bottom-white-light.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 300w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oppo-Find-N5-hands-on-half-open-bottom-white-light.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 768w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oppo-Find-N5-hands-on-half-open-bottom-white-light.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 1200w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oppo-Find-N5-hands-on-half-open-bottom-white-light.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 1536w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oppo-Find-N5-hands-on-half-open-bottom-white-light.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 2048w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oppo-Find-N5-hands-on-half-open-bottom-white-light.jpg?resize=1240%2C697&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 1240w, https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oppo-Find-N5-hands-on-half-open-bottom-white-light.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 150w\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: Oppo Find N5 hands on half open bottom white light\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">That USB-C port prevents the device from getting any thinner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"imageCredit\">Foundry | Alex Walker-Todd<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Maybe the biggest reason why I want Apple to ditch the USB-C port, however, is that it will force the industry, and society, to finally bite the bullet and fully embrace wireless. Apple has massive weight as a force for change. When iPhones stopped having 3.5mm headphone jacks, accessory makers shifted their focus from wired to wireless (or in some cases, for a time, Lightning or USB-C) headphones, and such devices became cheaper, better, and more widely available and understood. If a chunk of wealthy iPhone owners suddenly lost their USB-C ports, Android manufacturers would likely follow suit, and the same thing would happen for wireless chargers.<\/p>\n<p>Cars would start to be sold as standard with Qi2 magnetic mounts rather than, or as well as, the cable ports many currently offer. Wireless charging pucks would become commonplace in homes and offices. And companies (including, I\u2019d expect, Apple itself, because it would be keen to appease EU regulators) would throw their weight behind the development of faster, more efficient and longer-distance wireless charging standards in a way that would be less appealing if wired was still an easy option.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t imagine for a second that the USB-C port would disappear overnight. If the iPhone 18 series, for example, turned out to be portless, there would still be an iPhone 17e with a port, not to mention older generations still on sale at a lower price. For those who still want a port, the option would remain\u2013likely for many years, if the slow death of the Home button is anything to go by.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody would be forced to join the revolution right away. But the revolution is coming, and the sooner we get started, the better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a revelation recently while testing the wired charging speed of my trusty iPhone 16 Plus.
