That's still wired, so they can't get rid of it entirely. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Pyro@pawb.social 3 points 3 years ago NFC or something to that effect can be forced"on" with their special charging connection...
