The European Union is working on legislation that would require smartphone design to have easily replaceable batteries, but we doubt Apple would agree willingly.

    I don’t think so. They would still need a way to connect to the phone for diagnosis reasons and all that, or to connect to it via iTunes.

    That’s still wired, so they can’t get rid of it entirely.

      Just so you know, the Apple Watch no longer has a diagnostic port. It’s all 100% wireless now. Source

      Apple has been tinkering with this idea for a while now, and it’s already in use. Next, they just need to do the same thing with the iPhone, and they’re ready to ditch all cables.

      NFC or something to that effect can be forced"on" with their special charging connection… Or something like that

      Would be horrible for data rates but it could be done
