Certain EU regulations would have us believe that Apple’s portless iPhone launch would not be possible, but that is the complete opposite
The iPhone 17 Air was being explored with a ‘portless’ configuration, suggesting that the only way for Apple’s upcoming sleek flagship to get charged was by using a MagSafe connection or by using a Qi-enabled wireless charger. The company ultimately canned this option as the EU regulations would likely get in the way by labeling it as ‘anti-consumer,’ especially after the economic and political union forced the company to transition its entire product lineup to feature USB-C. Fortunately, according to confirmation received from a new report, it is entirely possible for Apple to release a portless iPhone without facing the wrath of the EU.The only time it will become problematic for Apple to sell a portless iPhone is if the company forces consumers to pay for additional accessories to initiate its use
Apple is slowly improving the charging speeds on its devices, and with those improvements, the company is reducing the time it takes to top up an iPhone that is juiced up wirelessly.
