A few days after learning that the alleged iPhone 17 Air could have become the first smartphone to go on the market without a charging port, we have an opinion on the European Commission. The surprising thing here is that Euroregulators do not see any problem in the smartphone to sell without a charge port – news that will surely delight Apple a lot.
The future of smartphones is … no loading ports, or perhaps at least it's hoping Apple, which is already looking in this direction. One of the pros of a similar development for apple It would be the ability to use a larger battery without having to compromise on the thickness and ergonomics of future iPhone devices.
Cupertino engineers were very close to making such a decision for the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, leaving only the wireless way of filling the battery, but fear of potential sanctions on the European Union had prevented their intention.
