Its one thing to have additional charging option and another to remove the existing one and now only have 1 option to charge.<br>Problem with lightning port, it break easily. Everyone i know including me at least have some issues with it. Which is why some are forced to use the wireless charging.<br>Now what if the wireless charging breaks? At least with a physical port one can at least troubleshoot it by cleaning it or whatever. If a wireless parts within the phone breaks, there little to no way to troubleshoot it without physically prying open the device which is design to be very difficult to fix in the first place. Both charging ports and wireless charging has their own limitation, which is why devices with both option gives the user the flexibility to choose which works for them. Not to mentioned some cases makes the wireless charging not work or as well.,(reply>), That's the whole point, Apple wants the wireless charging to break so you go buy a new iPhone...
