The iphone 16e being available in a whopping 2 colors is a blatant admission that Apple understands most people are going to slap a case on it immediately. Wireless charging rarely works for me as intended with a case on. It’s also a lot of fun when you check your phone mid sleep, fail to put it on the charger just right and wake up to a flat battery.

fail to put it on the charger *just right*

To be fair, that’s the exact problem that MagSafe solves, so wouldn’t be an issue for this hypothetical port-less iPhone.
