Apple won't go fully portless until qi charging is more widespread and most wireless charging use is tossing it on the charger before bed or in the car.

It's the tactic they used with usbc->lightning cables. Toss it into the eight, let USBc market mature for two years then start including the cable in iPhone 11s.

First iteration(s) may be crap but I'm in the camp that is for a waist mounted everything and a comfortable headset. I feel vr is more practical as an attachment to a desktop and engaged at home or similar safe environment.

To be outside, it should be less vr more hud. Read: "wtf was this wanker's name again??"

Mega anti apple though

I’m not fully convinced of that. MagSafe only phones are pure speculation, and not supported by any of the reliable people that drop Apple’s manufacturing and supply chain leaks.

Qi2 will launch at up to 15w, like MagSafe. That’s half of what an iPhone can charge at. So Qi only phones would basically be a massive downgrade for people who want fast charging.
