Recently, I wrote a story about why USB-C would never come to an iPhone.

By the way, this wasn't the first time I had written about it. I've been very vocal that this is becoming a reality since 2020 when apple introduced MagSafe.

However, on my latest post, a reader commented the following:

I can't get where you are. There are still two major reasons to keep a high-speed port: big video / image transfers, and a diagnostic port for Apple to use. Your analysis isn't complete on this

I partially agree with Chris Hornberger. Let's face it; wireless charging is the loophole Apple needs to bypass the new EU regulation.

If you aren't aware, the EU just passed a new law that requires any small chargeable electrical device to use a USB-C port, as long as capable of a wired connection.
