Apple to launch an iPhone in 2021 without charging port

Apple's iPhone 12 has seen plenty of leaks around the new design, the upgraded cameras, but it looks like the iPhone in 2021 could mark one of the biggest changes: the end of a charging port entirely. So far we have seen plenty of rumours about whether Apple would kill the Lightning connector in favour of a Type-C USB port, given the iPad and MacBook now all come with Type-C USB charging.
The highly-regarded Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF Securities brings the same predictions as that previous report, along with new predictions about the next iPhone SE 2 and a high-end iPhone with no lightning port. The iPhone 2021 will have no charging port. The Lightning connector will be removed on the highest-end versions, and instead replaced by wireless charging.
For 2020, Kuo expects a total of five iPhone models: one 6.7-inch high-end iPhone, two 6.1-inch iPhones (one high-end and one lower-tier), and one entry-level 5.4-inch iPhone, each of which would also have support for Sub-6GHz and/or mmWave 5G . Kuo also expects a new iPhone SE to be coming sometime in the first half of 2020. It is expected to have a 4.7-inch display and mimic the size and design of the iPhone 8 with updated internals, and an updated single camera.
