Shocking new cuts prove Apple can't conduct itself properly

Fruity cargo cult Apple has been progressively cutting functionality from its iPhones starting with the headphone plug, but now it seems that its policy of offering users less for more money is continuing.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple's upcoming iPhone 13 will ditch the Lightning port in favour of wireless charging. While this sounds rather good, it means that rather than just carrying your Lightning cable if you want to charge your phone from an electrical point, you will have to lug a wireless base station around with you -- it is not as if you can carry and extra battery.

Kuo believes Apple is highly likely to incorporate vapor chamber tech into an upcoming iPhone model, though it is not clear if the system will be ready in time for 2021. Generally speaking, vapor chamber (VC) technology involves evaporation of a liquid (typically water) within a specialised heat pipe or heat retention structure that snakes its way through a device chassis.
