Details on the iPhone make many repairmen "cry".

According to technology experts, the iPhone is a technical wonder but there is still one detail that needs to be changed.

Apple has a relatively simple design philosophy. The company always wants its phones to have the sleekest and most minimalist design possible. Apple's "watershed" moment was when it removed the headphone jack from every iPhone since the iPhone 7.

This philosophy also appears on the iPhone 15 series and the iPhone 16 renders. As a result, the iPhone has very few buttons, and the extra button added for the latest iPhone 15 Pro model can only be used for one thing. at a time.

However, the iPhone is still missing one thing, and this is a big disadvantage: the charging port is open but there is no cover, making the iPhone charging port very easily damaged.

Why is the iPhone charging port easily damaged?

The first problem is the habit of many users putting their iPhones in their bags. Small pieces of dirt inside the bag can accumulate inside the phone's charging port. In most cases, this will not affect the port's operation, at least for a while. Problems arise when the charger enters the port. Over time, the charger's pressure will push down the lint and dirt, compacting it. This compression volume will increase until the charger can no longer fit into the port.

The second involves people trying to fix the problem but not knowing how to do it. Usually, users just need to grab something thin and move it around the port to clean out lint and dirt.

The problem is that ports are made up of pins. These pins are very fragile and break easily. Each broken pin will cause more and more problems for the iPhone until it can no longer charge. Since many iPhone models no longer have a separate circuit board for the charger, repairing the port can completely wipe out the phone's memory.

What is the solution?

Both of these problems can be fixed quite easily. The simplest fix is to install a cover on the iPhone charging port to protect this part.

The cover for the charging port has an unexpected effect.

In fact, Apple has never added this feature. Along with the seamless bezel, the durable frame will help make the overall design more uniform.

If "Apple" designs a cover for the charging port, the iPhone will be less likely to be damaged. Apple is a strong enough designer to create a durable case combined with a cover for the charging port. This will allow people to keep their phone in their pocket or anywhere, without fear of damaging the charging port.

The Cupertino-based company typically doesn't adopt novel ideas. However, adding a cover for the charging port is essential for future iPhones. This addition also has precedent. Previously, some phone cases had a cover designed to cover the charging port (for early Sony Xperia models), but very few.
