I dont know anyone who transfers anything besides power to the iphone via cable. What are you guys doing? Syncing it with itunes?

This was my thought exactly. I would sooner transfer over Wi-Fi than cable. This is a charging port to me.

It would actually be a lot safer if the charging port was only able to supply power. People plug their shit into random cables all the time and it’s been a vector for compromise.

That’s a good point though the port is also needed to pair an iPhone or iPad to a Mac/PC (the famous ‘Trust This Device’ screen can only be triggered if a device tries to access the phones data via USB) which is required to do any backups / music or picture syncs in the first place. ,nd it’s also necessary if youre a developer as - even at USB2.0 speeds that people complain about here - it is still faster to test and debug applications than via wireless.

Well if you don’t want to subscribe to iCloud, how can you do it except with iTunes?

To be honest I’d really want to be able to create an image of my iPhone and back it up on my kdrive (a cloud storage service).

Apple car play would be a bitch if I don’t have a port since it doesn’t have wireless carplay. And my car is a 2023

They just said that a wired port is needed which apparently needs to be said because there are so many that thinks that portless is a good idea.
