        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forget the headphone jack — Apple is looking to get rid of all the ports in its future iPhones.</p><p>That&#8217;s the prediction from a <a href="https://twitter.com/choco_bit/status/1265002871487168512">known Apple leaker</a>, who says that after this fall&#8217;s iPhone 12, the Cupertino, California, tech giant is going to make the shift to completely wireless phones.</p><p>At least one iPhone model in 2021 will have a smart connector in place of the device&#8217;s traditional lightning port, rendering any accessories that make use of the port effectively obsolete. The smart connector would snap onto the device like a magnet rather than having to slot into it.</p><p>The prediction is in line with <strong>a previous report</strong> from highly regarded Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who previously said he expects the high-end iPhone 13 model to be a completely wireless device.</p><p>Apple&#8217;s forthcoming 2020 iPhone, meanwhile, will keep the lightning port despite the company experimenting with prototypes of the phone with the more widely used USB-C data and charging port.</p><p>The next iPhones are&nbsp;<strong>rumored to have 5G hardware</strong>, which will allow them to access a network that promises faster internet and quicker response times than LTE.</p><p>Last month, reports emerged that Apple was delaying the production ramp-up for the new phones as the coronavirus pandemic weakened global consumer demand and threw a wrench into its manufacturing operations across Asia.</p><p>Apple traditionally needs to send engineers back and forth from its offices to its factories in China to finalize designs in the lead-up to the product’s release. But the coronavirus has led Apple to restrict employee travel to hotbeds of the disease, including China.</p>]]></content:encoded>
