Apple considering dropping MagSafe?

[UnsungZero_OldTimeAdMan]

Apple was slow to embrace inductive charging. It requires the phone to have a non-conductive back.it also adds to the phone's thickness. But market pressures eventually forced them to offer it. Most phones integrate inductive charging with NFC hardware. Plus inductive charging facilitates waterproofing. I think Apple is only considering eliminating the magnetic ring that simplifies aligning the phone with the charger, not inductive charging.

Removing the ring does also help pad profit—especially as each new generation cost more and more. And the point made earlier about cases that do have the magnetic ring makes perfect sense. Those who want to retain the feature will just have to buy a case. And it'd mean more or no loss in accessory sales.
