My current bet is they go portless rather than switching to USB C, and that would be the day I move from iPhone. Hopefully these open (and privacy) oriented android/linux phones get mature in the meantime.

Wireless charging is a huge waste of energy and doesn't really go well with the environmental moves Apple has been making (if that was their real motivation).

I do understand the convenience of wireless charging in situations like driving, but like 90%+ of charging is at home during the night where there is no excuse for just plugging it in. And I want my damn cable for data transfer (but this is just me).
