Portless Is Possible
This is, by far, the most polarizing rumor about the iPhone 13 so far.
We’ve heard rumors about a completely wireless iPhone since 2019, but last year these rumors started to spread as new design images and mockups began to disperse throughout the internet.
It’d be interesting to see how a completely portless iPhone would work. We’ve seen Apple hinting at this possibility with the introduction of MagSafe in the iPhone 12, but there are so many questions, like how you’d connect it to your computer.
Still, this rumor is entirely possible. Thanks to MagSafe, Wi-Fi 6E inclusion, and Apple’s history of removing ports, not only on the iPhones but also on Macs, it’s possible that we’ll see a completely wireless iPhone 13 this year.
The good news is that not all iPhones would be portless this year. Out of all four iPhone 13 models, it’s been rumored that only one of the iPhone 13 Pro models will be completely portless. The other three models will continue to have at least a Lightning port.
