So most Apple fans have likely seen the latest rumor from Ming-Chi Kuo, who’s really on a roll at the moment. Among other things, he predicts that Apple will not just remove the Lightning Port, the last remaining physical interface left on the device, from the highest end iPhone in 2021. This would make the iPhone a 100% wireless device.
Do you ever find yourself shuffling things around or having to delete items to free up space on your iPhone? We’ve all had to at some point or another, especially if we have an iPhone with 16 GB or less storage space. Then there are those times when you need to move a file from your device to a Windows computer. You can fuss with a Lightning Cable and iTunes, or trying to email it as an attachment, but how about something easier and faster.
I share this tip this week because, for the third year in a row, I find myself having the same problem. It seems that the Lightning Port of the iPhones 6, 6S and 7 all have a particular attraction to lint. Since I wear jeans to work most days and keep my phone in my front pocket, this lint build-up is inevitable and always seems to pop up right about now. However, it is easily remedied if you know what to look for.
