Apple is allegedly preparing to remove USB-C ports from iPhones


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am sorry if I post in the wrong section.  I try to create a post in the Front Page but it will not create a post and there is not button for "Start new topic".

I can't read the comments of the front page of https://www.neowin.net/news/apple-allegedly-prepares-to-dive-into-port-free-iphones-starting-with-iphone-17-air/.

I login to my account but I don't see any comments.

I really don't like the idea of Apple ditching the USB-C ports because you can't transfer your files and also the wireless charge is slow to charge.   If there is no USB-C port then how can transfer your files?

My personal opinion is that the easiest way to transfer files is to install one of the many available FTP file apps, turning your phone into an FTP server (user ID and Password protected), and then access the phone using any browser or file manager app on whatever computer you're using. I have no problem accessing my phone in FTP mode using Window's Explorer file manager; I just type the FTP address into the files address bar and after connecting enter my user ID and password and transfer any file I want. Moreover if Apple goes ahead with this I'm sure there will be many new iphone apps to allow access and file transfers by FTP or other means.

OK I see thanks. If apple does that then this is an extra steps where you have to install another app.  I just remember you can have NFC or Bluetooth to transfer the files from Iphone to Android or a PC.  If they do that Apple will screw themselves and I guess lots of people will convert to Android.  I just hope that if Apple does do port less that Android phones does NOT follow what apple is doing.  Apple is a proprietary that is even funny.
