A portless iPhone is starting to make a lot of sense
Summary
Not only did eschewing the 30-pin dock save a heap of space at the base of the iPhone, but it also paved the way for Apples second, and arguably more controversial design change, getting rid of the headphone jack. (Well get to audio soon, dont worry) Just a couple of days ago, evidence was discovered in the iOS 13.4 beta which suggests that Apple might be working on an over the air recovery solution for iPhone. Stuck in the middle of the two, is a grey area of third party exploitation, Bootrom jailbreak hacks and companies like Cellebrite who claim to be able to bypass iOS security. And the way they implemented it meant anyone using it had to write down or print out a long pseudo-random recovery key and keep it safe in case they ever forgot their iCloud passwords or couldnt supply the second step for authentication. But perhaps we need a company like Apple to take the plunge, firmly pushing us all towards a future free of Lightning cables, charger wastage, and third party security hacks.
