      I know this is all android nerds commenting on something they don’t care about for some reason but my guess would be that by then we’ll just be driving over a pad in our garages and not have to touch anything.

        Wireless charging for a car would be a terrible idea(possible exceptions for specific cases eg. charging while driving). Wireless charging is inefficient which doesn’t matter that much for a small battery like a phone’s but for a car’s it certainly would.

          I understand by today’s standards. Ideally, though this would be how shit would work in my opinion. I’m not talking about now, I’m talking about the future.

          The wireless on iPhones isn’t even proprietary. Hopefully automakers agree on a standard in that regard. Tesla already has one in the works so they’ll probably be first.

    Let me guess. It’ll only operate on Apple-approved roads, can only be charged by Apple branded chargers and get bricked after 2 years when “It’s no longer supported”

      Look, I dislike Apple’s walled-garden as much as the next guy, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Apple has been phenomenal at supporting its older devices, much longer than most Android manufacturers. The iPhone 7 only recently stopped getting updates, and it was from 2016. The standard for Androids is still 2 years, so when it comes to long term device support, the point undeniably goes to Apple.

        Apple users are getting settlement checks starting this month because Apple lost its lawsuit over intentionally throttling previous model phones with their “updates”

          That’s what moved me off the Apple ecosystem. Can’t use any of my apps unless I update my phone, every update made my phone continually slower.

        My fusion drive iMac was rendered unusable by an OS update that was optimized for SSD and put any hard drive Mac to a crawl.

        I had to change to a SSD, which was very fun because I had to unglue the screen and glue it back when I was done.
