The last major leak of Ming-Chi Kuo data on the iPhone we will see next year is a total celebration. We will have more iPhone models and sizes than before, but with all the details about the iPhone coming in 2021: an imagined model that will no longer have a physical charging hole. Either Lightning or USB-C. Not at all
And then, before this comes out of doubt and open debate: what will happen if these rumors end up being true? How are we going to do everything we do now with the rope? Doesn't it represent a great sacrifice to clear that port of goods? We just have to review those works to see that there can be life without them. Let's see it.
Waste disposal technology on the iPhone is already happening: Wi-Fi 6 and 5G
We start by taking something very simple: charge the phone. As of 2017 we have iPhone models that can be charged for import, and they are also compatible with the Qi standard. Wireless charging bases for smartphones are already very popular in 2019, so by 2021 they were a bit unusual.
And what data synchronization? Not normal, macOS Catalina].
We've been able to do this Wi-Fi sync for years, without the need to connect the iPhone to the computer using the Lightning cable. Here we can say the potential downside is that now wireless data transfer is slow, but be aware: for 2021 solutions such as Wi-Fi 6 networks may be the perfect solution for this. And phones like the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are already compatible with those tags.
The IPhone installation and restoration And it's something that can be done already without the need for a computer, and with that kind of Wi-Fi network we can get to make local backups faster and over a USB-C cable. The maximum theoretical bandwidth for Wi-Fi 6 networks, remember, exceeds 9.6 Gb per second.
What if we don't have Wi-Fi? Well, no problem, because by 2021 5G networks and their speeds should be standard At least in big cities. And along with the ability of that network we have to have plans with lots of GB downloads, which can allow us to do data transfer now that doesn't think about 4G. And here we can talk quietly about backup copies of every iPhone.
In addition, the complete absence of the connector makes the engineers win the precious inner space on iPhone to install multiple chips, sensors and / or battery. I bet if you lose the bodybuilder we will find something else that will make us very happy. And let's not say the fact that we can buy and take those cables with us, of course.
We lose very little, but we lose
Not everything will be the way of the roses when this deck is fulfilled. Apple will launch that iPhone out of the harbor as a first step, and not introduce a new generation of phones by forcing everyone who wants to buy them to make the jump. We can decide if we accept that test, which could be another discount like the one already made by the discs floppy, light discs or Adobe Flash. The bad thing is we will lose jobs such as the recently released work migration from one iPhone to another, for example. And DFU mode options will be very limited.
One final point: I'm contributing to the fire bet that Apple will have a physical port for connecting cables to that iPhone but from its internal parts and only available to professionals, as happened with the Apple Watch.
Two years ahead, but we can ask the question: can you buy an iPhone without a charging port? Or are you still too attached to him?
