One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It’s a shame it’s not a thing, USB is extremely versatile port, but you only get one and it’s used for charging half of the time. (I am aware dongles exist)

    Soon you’re gonna feel lucky that your phone has even ONE port.

    Give it 5 years and Apple will have removed their lightning and/or USB port and gone wireless on everything.

      Apple is going to be compelled to offer USB-C as a wired charging connection in Europe if it offers a wired charging option.

      On the plus side it’ll make waterproofing way easier. And ports are often the first thing to break on phones in my experience. Honestly my biggest disappointment will be the loss of the SIM slot, since e-SIMs give me the creeps. I like that my relationship to the cellular provider is on a part I can pop out.
