As a consumer I can tell you've I've been bitten by physical wires too many times. It's gotten to the point where I no longer value physical jacks where reasonable.

Unless you can make something like a Nintendo switch dock with its self aligning connector dock I'm pretty burnt on physical connections.

I've also heard a lot of stories of other people having bad luck with cables and their phones in person.

So I wouldn't put it past the phone industry on moving towards that idea in the future.

It's like when I told my brother I no longer planned to get a CD drive for my computer. For the time he thought it was a silly idea. However steam took off and it became the norm.

I'm expecting the same with phones and charging cables.

However phones have a much broader range of prices than your home computer so the lower the cost the phone, the more likely a physical connection.

But apple and samsung would be at the top of my list for people most likely to make such a move.
