Apple could remove lightning port from future iPhones, reveals a new patent

It seems that Apple is planning to introduce its future iPhones without charging ports as the company has filed a new patent with the US Patent and Trademark Office regarding a new kind of charging technology. The patent reveals that the new connector is designed to enhance the water-resistance capabilities of the iPhone.

This indicates that the company has been doing lots of research to attain the possibility of replacing or removing the lightning port from the iPhone. The charger or electrical connector has a point which includes an altered architecture that is magnetically actuated by magnets associated with an electric lead, connecting electronic devices.

We can compare this patent with last year’s Magsafe for iPhone, which is a new magnetic connector based on the Qi standard that can be attached to the back of the phone for charging purposes. The rumors also suggest that the upcoming iPhones may not have a lightning port.
