When Apple inevitably removes all physical ports from some future iteration of iPhone, I wonder if they’ll use the existence of tech like this to market the change as a benefit to security.
I’m simultaneously impressed, curious and disturbed.
I still don't understand why they even have usb connection on Iphone. I have not attached a cable to it for years. Wireless charging, bluetooth headset, and all other bluetooth devices. Icloud backup as well as government spyware called CSAM never needed a cable.
I still use the 3.5mm headphone jack over Bluetooth, because of the price of Bluetooth headphones, and also not having to ever worry about battery life. The only downside for me is that I can't use the headphones, and charge and walk around, but that's a lot less annoying then the other things. And with Bluetooth, there tends to be brief pauses (<1sec) where I can't hear anything.
I also use my phone as my computers webcam. It's way better wired than the wifi for me (which honestly shouldn't be true, but).
I almost never use wireless charging, because it takes longer to charge, is everyday inefficient, and most people don't own wireless chargers. And even if they do, it's never in as many places as normal chargers. On an old phone, I ruined the port and had to only use wireless charging, and it was so annoying.
And app development is so much nicer when you have a USB connection. When I lost the ability to do so, coding was a good amount more work
