Apple is taking an important step in making iPhones thinner. According to Bloomberg’s reliable technology analyst Mark Gurman, the company thought of launching the iPhone 17 Air with a completely portless design. However, for now, this idea has been put aside.According to Gurman’s information shared in the Power on Bulletin, the iPhone 17 Air will be a harbinger of thinner models without charging port “. If this model succeeds, Apple is considering re -raise the plan to produce iPhones completely in the future.
From the USB-C transition to portless iPhones
Apple has been using its own Lightning connection on iPhones for years. However, with the European Union’s USB-C obligation, the company has switched to USB-C since the iPhone 15 series. However, Apple’s ultimate goal is to get rid of wired connections completely.Previously, the famous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that the first portless iPhone could be released in 2021. However, this estimate did not take place. Apple may prefer to gradually make this transition by considering technological infrastructure and user experience. The iPhone 17 Air will be one of the first models of Apple’s subtle design -oriented design.
If the company completely removes the charging port in the future, it will be inevitable to further improve Magsafe and other wireless charging technologies. On the other hand, it seems that at least this route will not be watched for now because of concerns about how European organizers will react.
