Rumors of a portrless iPhone have been floating around for years, but it appears that Apple has scrapped the idea because it fears how the EU would react to such a device. Considering the continuing clashes between Apple and European regulators, that move is understandable. However, from a user perspective, things might be a little different. After all, that would’ve been a truly unique smartphone, and tech enthusiasts appear to need one of those desperatly.
Do you think a portless phone is a good idea? Would you pay for such a device? What do you think the pros and cons would be? Do you think other brands could complete Apple’s idea and just skip the EU market? Share your thoughts!

Yes, let's be honest, the USB-C port was never made for charging, nor having the cable put in and taken out multiple times a day. You don't have to search long to find users who can no longer charge their device through USB-C because the little pin connector has gotten loose. So a portless phone would be preferable or better yet, a new port that looks like lightning-port, but is open standard and as fast or faster than USB-C
Wireless charging is definitely better, just drop it on a table and have it charge, so much better than having to find a cable and plug it in, the usb c made it easier than the the micro, but a wire will never be as easy
being tired (or drunk) will increase the chances that someone will forget to charge the phone or struggle to use a cable
snatching your phone in a hurry will cause no harm wirelessly, but can damage either the port or the cable when wired
portless reduces the chance of dirt or liquids getting in making the device strong and less likely to get damaged
only issue is (as mentioned) transferring of data, that needs to be sorted to get similar to wired speeds before we get rid of ports
