Rumors have Lee Soo Actor | Adult Movies Onlinefloated for months that Apple might jettison the iPhone's Lightning Port come 2021 and a newly discovered patent shows us what that could look like.
The patent was first discovered by Apple Insiderand is labeled as "Electronic device with glass enclosure." If that's too vague for you, it's described further as "An electronic device includes a six-sided glass enclosure defining an interior volume and comprising a first glass member and a second glass member."
Apple filed the patent on Aug. 15, 2019, and published by the patent office on Thursday. The first reliable reports on the big port move came in December 2019 from noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Then there's this image that's attached to the patent. There are dozens of images in the patent but this one lays it all out.

Namely, there are no buttons of any kind. The volume buttons look to be, as Apple Insidernotes, touch controls, as the phone has a waterfall display with the screen going over the edges.
As the title says, this thing is enclosed in glass on all six sides, meaning Apple could be moving toward a completely smooth, glass-encased iPhone completely reliable on wireless charging. Well, with the exception of the camera, which isn't addressed in this particular patent.
SEE ALSO: Report: Apple to unveil new, cheaper iPhone 'as early as March'Kuo's report back in December 2019 indicated that the Lightning Port-less phone would likely be the top-tier model of the 2021 iPhone line (the iPhone 13 Pro Max, using Apple's current naming scheme) while other models (the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13) would retain the Lightning Port.
And, for what it's worth, another Apple patent published in 2019 showed off another version of the iPhone that was without the Lightning port. That phone, though, also featured a dramatic redesign unlike the one above which still resembles the iPhone we know and love.
Of course, this all comes with the caveat that patents are just a claim to the idea and design and that none of these designs are guaranteed to ever come to fruition.
But, as with everything Apple, it's always fun to wonder.
