I wonder if the charging port on mobile devices will go the way of the 3.5mm jack and be replaced with Qi and other wireless charging protocols. I also wonder if we will be forced into Bluetooth for all extension devices we used to connect to usb-c.

    Apple is making moves in this direction. I certainly hope not as the Bluetooth thing is a legitimate concern. It’s probably a matter of months until the next Bluetooth vuln.

      Apple will change it first, and Samsung and Google will make fun of them for it and promote how they still let you plug your phone in… Until next year’s model when they do the same thing.

          They’ll clone the Bluetooth standard, and change a couple of minor things only to make it incompatible with Bluetooth. Like they did with the wired headphone playback controls.
