Apple will take the first step for iPhones without a charging port with the iPhone 17 Air model. According to the information shared by Mark Gurman, the company considered a completely portless design for this model, but this idea has been abandoned for now. The iPhone 17 Air was developed as part of Apple’s goal of making its devices thinner and will pioneer the transition to models without a charging port.
Will the era of iPhones without a charging port begin?
Apple has been using its own Lightning connection on iPhones for years, but it switched to this standard due to the European Union’s USB-C mandate. The company’s long-term goal is said to be to completely eliminate wired connections. However, this requires further development of wireless charging and data transfer technologies.
Previously, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that the first completely portless iPhone could be released in 2021, but this prediction did not come true. Apple adopts a strategy of gradually implementing such radical changes. The iPhone 17 Air will be one of the first examples of a thinness-oriented design approach and will accelerate the transition to completely portless models.

If the company does remove the charging port completely in the future, MagSafe and other wireless charging technologies will need to be developed further. However, it is still unclear what the European Union and other regulatory bodies will do in this case. So what do you think about this issue?
