Apple's vision for a portless iPhone 17 Air, reliant on MagSafe and Qi wireless charging, has received approval from the European Union. Despite initial concerns about regulatory restrictions, the EU has confirmed that selling a portless model is permissible, provided Apple avoids proprietary charging methods. The shift to a portless design aligns with the EU's goal of reducing electronic waste and promoting uniform charging standards. As wireless charging technology improves, consumers may increasingly embrace this innovation, especially with the growing availability of compatible chargers in various locations.
