>Hell, in all likelihood, Apple is likely to ditch a charging connection altogether in favor of wireless charging in the near future.
Lol. Literally not possible.

The benefit will be better water/dust-proofing, and slightly more internal room for battery or whatever else. I have only just started charging wirelessly, but I find it works great for me. I know wired charging is faster, but only a handful of times a year do I care about that.
I know, ”akshually, you can use it, you just can’t hold it in your hand!”. Anyway, you can’t use it normally - it must be kept on the mat to charge.
Also, there are a bunch of accessories that require physical connection. Search for “iphone pendrive” for instance.
Bluetooth headphones still have laughable latency for music production, and decent quality full-duplex audio isn’t there either.
iOS developers will also tell you how reliable wireless debugging is. (Hint: it’s abysmal)
Those other two use cases of music creation and thumb drives are a tiny market on iPhone I could see Apple abandoning them entirely.
And if I were charging at a Starbucks or something, I could use the phone while charging, just flat on the table.
