Considering only a handful of carriers support eSIM (and most of them only for postpaid accounts), it will be decades until we have eSIM only.
But I'm sure selling that SIM ejector separately will happen. It's for the environment or courage...

If your car does not have wireless CarPlay, like mine, then the cable is necessary. Apple will need to provide a solution if and when they remove the lighting port from the iPhone.
Just to be pedantic, Apple has only had wireless charging for 3 years. X and 8 came out in 2017.
Why is wireless charging more convenient? I bought a wireless charging stand a few years ago and it worked. But I quit using it because honestly it was easier just to plug in the charging cable to the phone. The MagSafe thing is better than the stand since I could use the phone and hold it while charging. But....I can do that with my iphone charging cable also.
Now, I do get that if we didn't have the lightning port on the bottom of the phone, it might be nice to have one MagSafe charger that I could charge the phone and could also charge my iPad (USB C port) and my Apple Watch (different device). So that is advantageous. But that is the only advantage I can see. (And of course right now we still have a lightning port and I have a gazillion lightning cables).
Is there anything else that make wireless charging more convenient?
Thanks. Took me a while to figure this out at the Apple Store. Ridiculous IMHO. I'm surprised they don't sell the cable separately. Per Apple...
The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The perfectly aligned magnets attach to your iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro and provide faster wireless charging up to 15W.
The MagSafe Charger maintains compatibility with Qi charging, so it can be used to wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or later, as well as AirPods models with a wireless charging case, as you would with any Qi-certified charger.
The magnetic alignment experience only applies to iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models.
20W USB-C Power Adapter sold separately.
So I got my case today and the MagSafe charger. It automatically finds the sweet spot on the case very easily as you drop it onto it.
One hand operation to put it on charge. When you pick it up the MagSafe stays stuck to the case, so a two hand operation to take it off.

Because it’s another option to charge your phone via another accessory. Simple as that.
Aftermarket will bring stylish suction cups to have MagSafe charger stay on the table so we don't need to use 2 hands.So I got my case today and the MagSafe charger. It automatically finds the sweet spot on the case very easily as you drop it onto it.

does a normal refrigerator magnet stick to the case?
Does it stick wherever you want or does it get attracted to only certain locations?
Wait, so the case has magnets in it too? I thought they were designed to be thin-enough to let the MagSafe magnets "pass through"... ?
And headphones. Bluetooth isn't always the best solution, for a variety of reasons.

but here is what i really want to know. Will the phone with that case snap onto my car magnetic mount. And if so Will it snap into my mount with a third party case, will the magnets on the phone be strong enough through a third party case.
and To plug into ur computer, and to plug in card readers(which I use often for my drone footage) and other accessories.
CarPlay is going wireless now and they will have a solution for the ones that currently require wires.
And what solution will they have for me plugging in my sd card into a sd card adapter plugged into the lightning port or plugging Into iTunes on my Comp.
That sounds crappy. Lol But to think, iTunes on a computer was a big thing for them. Now not so much but we need options for local backups not just iCloud, you know. I just don’t see how they can get rid of that port for data transfer purposes.
