    Wait. Does this imply no USB-C port either? No charging port at all? If so, that would be wild. And you thought doing away with the headphone jack was aggressive... https://www.techmeme.com/...

    I can't believe Apple would actually canibalize its dongle business. That's some courage right here. https://twitter.com/...

    I can't wait to read 400 million breathless articles about this over the next couple years. And then no one caring, buying the new iPhone anyway, and then everyone copying the move. https://twitter.com/...

    yes the one thing i've always wanted is for it to be harder for me to use my device https://twitter.com/...

    Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple will have four 5G #iPhone12 releases in 2020 plus an #iPhoneSE2 — which may spark the super cycle that analysts have been expecting to arrive for some time. https://appleinsider.com/... pic.twitter.com/hZQmYzSC1m

    Nary a moment too soon to kill off Lightning. https://twitter.com/...
