Did you make fun of the iPhone when it was released because you can't unlock it and change the battery? Or did you make fun of her when she canceled the audio port in 2016? Or is it because she said in 2018 that the iPhone Xs comes with a new feature, which is two sims? Far from being ironic, did you know that all of these things are among the steps to achieve Apple's dream that the phone becomes one solid, thin piece without ports. Learn about Apple's plan from the first iPhone until Last month's conference; And what do we expect to see in the coming years?
Let's go back to 2007 and see the phones back then; We are not talking about multitouch or operating systems here; Phones at this time had a removable back cover and then removed the battery and placed the phone chip and memory card; There was an Aux 3.5mm audio port. These are the phones, so how did Apple decide to change them?
Step zero and the first iPhone
When Apple launched the first version of the iPhone came two shocking things; no memory card; The phone cannot remove the back cover and change the battery; If you, dear reader, are born in the new millennium, you will feel that this is normal; No phone back cover can be removed and battery changed; What is normal now was not normal 10 or 15 years ago; Most of us would have easily changed the battery. But Apple got rid of two things by launching the iPhone; no memory card slot; And the phone is not easily detachable.
The first step and the audio port
We all know the story of Apple's sudden cancellation of the audio port in 2016 with the iPhone 7; In fact, this step began in 2012 and the iPhone 5 when Apple turned Lightning; What distinguishes this port is that it supports audio transmission like the traditional audio port; Indeed, accessories have appeared for it, and all companies in the world have learned how to make it without problems and with high efficiency, whether MFi certified or regular companies; Then Apple decided in 2016 to remove the audio port and here the companies have to transfer the accessories to the Lightning cable that they know well and have been dealing with for the past 4 years. Apple put out the Lightning headset, several companies introduced other headphones, and then everyone switched to Bluetooth. Thus, the transition was not catastrophic; Imagine with me that everyone found himself having to deal with a new outlet that he did not know about; The transition would be disastrous.
The second step and the SIM card port
Since the release of the iPhone, there has been an obsession with Apple called the SIM card; This huge space reserved by companies for the chip… The iPhone was released in 2007 with a Mini-SIM chip and in 2010 Micro-SIM standards were approved and the chip was reduced and became available to everyone; Who do you think was the first company to welcome and support the new segment? It is Apple, of course, that supported it in the first iPad, and later the iPhone 4 became the first phone in the world to come with a Micro chip.
The following year 2011 and then 2012 began the global struggle to form the new segment; BlackBerry, Nokia and Motorola companies have come up with their own designs; But they were surprised by Apple entering the competition and winning in the end, and the adoption of its nano-chip design. I know some might find this surprising; The current phone chip that everyone works with is designed by Apple; The iPhone 5 was the first phone in the world to come with a nano-chip.
The following year, 2013, Apple registered a patent to cancel the chip from the ground up, and you can return to our article at this time via this link; And Apple found itself in a difficult challenge, which will convince the user to the eSIM? Google and Samsung provided products with it, but the telecommunications companies did not actually support the chip.
So in 2017, Apple decided to offer the watch 3 with the support of the eSIM chip. Indeed, this was an indication that it was coming to the iPhone, and of course, as expected, companies raced to support it. Everyone wants to have a head start and attract an Apple user to him; When the watch was introduced, the whole world had only 9 countries that support eSIM, and after 6 months they became 17 countries. At the end of 2018, Apple introduced the iPhone Xs
iPhone Xs brought a message to the user; You have your phone that you know; An additional option and feature is a second virtual SIM; The user began searching for and subscribing to carriers that support eSIM; This prompted more networks to support it.
After 3 years, there are more than 65 countries that support eSIM. Here, Apple decided to provide a user experience, which is phone support for 2 virtual SIMs, as we explained in our previous article; In order to use 2 virtual SIMs you have to cancel the regular Nano-SIM; Which makes us can say that Apple after a year in the iPhone 14 or two years with a maximum of the iPhone 15 will tell Apple statistics the percentage of users who have moved to work with 2 virtual chip; And if you reach a certain degree, the iPhone will be without chips, and thus a new port ends and the charging remains
The last step and charging port
This is the last and most difficult step; charging port; Apple has been thinking for years and there are already leaks that Apple leaders asked engineers to provide the iPhone without a charging port and rely on wireless charging only, but they were answered with difficulty.
Last year Apple introduced MagSafe, Apple's new charging and connectivity method; Indeed, a lot of chargers and accessories appeared for it; This year, those who watched the conference will find that Apple deliberately “stuffed” a small paragraph to talk about MagSafe without need, as it did not provide new accessories or a newer version; Only other covers support it which clearly means Apple is focused with it.
The main problem MagSafe has is that it only provides charging while the cable provides charging and data transfer; Perhaps Apple seeks to make the user get used to MagSafe, and then next year unveils the second generation of it, which supports data transfer as well; And then you delete it? No one knows, but it is certain that Apple wants to cancel the charging port, and in the coming years we will see this happen gradually.
So, far from the irony of Apple and the crazy steps that this company is taking, but actually Apple is the only company in the field of devices that works with a long-term plan; You feel that the iPhone for the years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 they have as a plan and every year they draw and move in their own studied plan, it is a long plan and requires patience, but the end is in the interest of the whole world.
It was an adventure on their part
It is very natural and with the development of smart phones, not only the iPhone, it is necessary to do this
How can I activate the eSIM on iPhone XNUMX??
In my theory, charging the iPhone is a transfer that will turn you electrified, such as transferring the balance or via the Internet. Thank you
Ok, and the speakerphone, and the upper call headset, how are they going to get rid of them?
There is a technology under development, which is the amplification of the sound by the screen
I would like to see the iPhone as one piece without ports or even the volume up and down buttons and the lock button
If Apple takes this step, it will lead and outperform all companies
I prefer the device without ports, everyone will get used to it. Thank you. Very cool topic
Apple’s plan, after changing the charging port, made it clear that the company’s goal is to produce an iPhone without any openings, and therefore it will be the most water- and dust-resistant device and the most advanced device because its user is not bound by wires … and it is clear that Apple has a goal for a future that does not wait for anyone to apply it, but applies it by itself and forces Everyone is against it because after a sufficient study was done and it was proven that Apple was right more than once, including fighting the flash. Anyone who opposed the idea of flash was crazy...but Apple proved that it is right and on this measure many of Apple's directions
We are waiting for the update of the Zamin app, may Allah reward you.
👍 Thank you
thank you

Expressive image and we hope to see a timely update soon 🌹🌹
I don't think that canceling ports is important in the development of technology. Why deprive me of my freedom to choose the way I live? For example, I like to use wireless headphones. If I leave the headphone port, will Bluetooth headphones work and succeed in this way? Okay, let's leave the headphone port and go to the SIM card port. What is practical is that you have a real SIM card that you can change at any time with any phone or SIM card. If the phone breaks down, the world will be ruined for you. Let's come to the charging port. If it is canceled, charging will depend on the MagSafe. This means that you must take an expensive phone case that meets the standards instead of taking a cheap case that fulfills its main purpose, which is protection. In general, if this happens and the SIM card port and charger are canceled, I will say goodbye to Apple. My journey with it is from the iPhone 4s until now, and I have an iPhone 11 Max, thank God, and I will move to Android. My needs and comfort come before everything else.
You are thinking right now, and you are thinking far, as was said in the article
Canceling the ports is important in water resistance
The bluetooth headphones really worked
- Canceling the chip port and relying on electronic is useful in case the phone is stolen, so the thief cannot remove the chip so that the owner of the phone can call and determine his location
I think there will be a setting in the system that does not allow you to lock the phone except with the key code, fingerprint or face, and this is also very useful when the phone is stolen so that it stays on and determines its location
- Mag Saif is a beautiful thing. It is a magnet and sticks to the back of the phone. It does not need to be inserted or removed. Today's disbelief is expensive because the technology is new, and tomorrow it will be cheap, and the charging method may develop and become via Bluetooth, so even the Mag Saif does not need it.
- The development of technology does not depend on my opinion and your opinion. Currently, I hate the notch in the iPhone and the large screen, so I have an iPhone 8, a small screen and without a notch, and I want an iPhone 12 or 13 mini version, but because of the notch and its expensive price, I do not want to buy it
-Finally, if you stay in the acquisition of Apple or switch to Android, this is your personal desire and does not affect neither the Apple company nor the fans of acquiring Apple
The iPhone picture at the top of the article is awesome
Question ⁉️ What is the benefit to Apple for it to give up all the iPhone ports and keep it a solid piece without a port, and what is the return to us as a user and to them as a company?
The benefit for Apple, from my point of view, is the first marketing thing that can tell you the first touch device without ports and also tell you that the battery is larger and the water resistance is greater
The same thing for the user, the bigger the battery, the better the water resistance
One of the positives when Apple prepares things to make the user get used to them before changing it or canceling it
But sometimes the audience is not ready for it, such as the headphone port. The user has become a choice between charging the device, using the headset, or buying wireless headphones because they are not included with the device, especially since their price is not cheap.
As for canceling the lightning port, I say there is one step left is to integrate the NFC sensor or something with the wireless charger and of course it is included with the device and at the same time bypassing the restrictions of the European Union is forced to use USB-A in the event that Apple does not want to put a port on its devices
It doesn't take any wild imagination to know that Apple will arrive with a portless device with a full screen and fast wireless charging, it's just a matter of time. Of course, many of those who criticized Apple's revolutionary steps are the same ones who follow it after a period of time, as it is a leading company with a vision like the one who founded it.
I expect that in the future, the iPhone will be transformed into an integrated device that integrates the functions of the mobile, the iPad, the laptop, and the controllers, which means dispensing with many devices, and the iPhone could be a wearable like a wrist watch. The movement and speed of change will depend on several factors such as The speed of technological change and our acceptance of it… Sometimes God will see miracles that we did not believe a decade ago.
Technology has made people’s lives easier and saved them a lot, and it is almost impossible to limit its benefits, but, what frightens me in the future of technology is artificial intelligence and biological technology, these two things are frightening and their development is a mysterious and unknown future and I do not know how it will be controlled and ensure that it does not harm human life
