Apple will remove the lighting port.

It will be portless.

It will use mag safe. And only mag safe can work. Other wireless charging can’t.

Mag safe version 2 will allow wireless data transfer.

Apple has already confirmed that they will go USB-C. Moreover, wireless connections are not reliable for diagnostics.

They have not confirmed usb-c, they have confirmed that they will comply with future iPhones needing usb c for wired charging, which if they completely kill wired charging would satisfy the law also

Idk why you’re getting downvoted this is exactly what’s going to happen.

Why hasn’t it happened on every other Apple product that has USB-C or wireless charging?

Because they aren’t at a comfortable spot with the tech yet. They have (essentially) 3 more years to perfect it before they launch it. Iphone 15 and 16 will have lightning since they will be released before December 28th 2024, and then they have until around October (when they typically go on sale) 2025 to have the tech in a usable spot. Seems like a reasonable plan to me.
