Previous reports indicated that Apple had proposed internally the bold idea of removing the iPhone's port design, but ultimately did not make the decision.The reason is related to EU regulationsHowever, the European Commission later stateddisplayThere will be no restrictions on designs without external ports, meaning Apple can still sell iPhone models that only support wireless charging in EU countries.
The European Commission responded that this would apparently relieve Apple of the worry that if it boldly removed the external connection port and only used wireless charging as a way to recharge, the European Commission might question its preference for Apple's own charging method and subsequently impose penalties.
But will Apple resume releasing iPhone models without external ports? This will likely depend on overall market developments. This will require not only improving wireless charging efficiency and increasing battery capacity, but also rethinking data transfer methods to ensure ease of use.
The removal of external connection ports means that the new phone will have higher protection against water and dust, while the one-piece design will be more complete and will not even be restricted by the width and height specifications of the connection ports, further reducing the thickness of the body.
In addition, if Apple further launches iPhone models without external connection ports, it is expected to attract more companies to follow suit and launch products with similar designs, and users may have to adapt to the use method without external connection ports.
