The lightning port being replaced with USB C rumour hasn't been too hot recently. But that change is probably due about now, unless Apple plan on making a unique SKU for Europe.

With no proof to this, my money is still on “courage” to remove all ports and have it truly 100% wireless

I don't think so. From a technical standpoint, it doesn't make sense not to have a hardware connection to the device. If the radios go funny there would be no way of getting into the core of the system to fix it.

It’s impossible to get rid of all the ports. For example CarPlay, it’s still not wireless in most cars in 2022 and even those ”supposed gadgets” to make carplay wireless are not reliable or simply don’t work AND are way overpriced, and only sold on the internet…
Apple must switch to USB C, lightning is dead.

I’m glad Sam is in this podcast calling out the host. All that backpedaling about “invite NEVER gives a hint” is baffling and embarrassing.

How hard is it to own up that you were wrong? Literally a 10 minute conversation proving again and again how wrong the host was and still couldn’t admit it.

Except with EU law this would be illegal.

Yea then I’ll switch to android. Courage my ass. Wireless charging is great for setting your crap down and forgetting it.
But having a magnetic mag safe style adapter on the phone would be much better.

I enjoy the podcast in general, but I had a hard time listening to this particular episode due to the guest. Personally, I cannot listen to someone who uses the word "bro" constantly. A pet peeve of mine which means I could not finish listening to this episode.

MagSafe USB-C. That would be cool. But the EU would be unhappy.
