iPhone going portless may have some benefits for Water and dust proof improvements. Other not so visible benefits would be a pressure on Apple as well as other phone makers such as Samsung, LG and more to improve Battery capacity (similar to what @professor mentioned above for Graphene cells), wireless charging improvements, wireless data transfer and more.
Overall a push for competition to provide better portless phones, move away from wired charging.
Portless benefits:
Portless losses
I count 4 pro 2 con. So I see it in just one model to give choice and time to adapt.
Portless Pros
Portless cons
I count 3 pro 7 con
That’s why it isn’t all models at once. So you can decide. It makes most sense in the smaller models, chinless allows bigger screen.
Heat will require technology answer, it is solvable:
Someone will buy it, bragging right, you’d see:
If you didnt like it, buy the other model.
Same charger for buds, watch, phone. Charger can use on larger devices which have wired+wireless, you’d see wireless input and output on your iPad. Your new iPad is your new iPhone SE charger.
Cant predict dates but seeing as 2020 ipad + iphone out, it becomes probably 2021.
Possibly November - the iPhone SE Pro with a much better screen and bigger battery for the same price. That’s then only 1 of 4 phones, so alienation won’t happen.
All of those will bring pretty severe downsides (with the exception of #2).
I don’t think I would go with wireless only. I don’t see how the pros outweigh the cons (yet). One day it is the inevitable future.
Maybe go for the classic 3rd generation rule.
24k gold. 
I don’t thinks it worth though rather get a gold chain or something
Edit: I guess I could where it as a chain 
Wow! what a beautiful color !!! 
That is a nice looking cable.
I really want to do an unboxing video for this! 
Very exclusive and noble!
I should go back to one of my former jobs. (Garimpeiro! )
Next step will be inserting little diamonds in the plugs! 
Certainly eye catching but not one which would be on my future items to pickup list…$100 for a cable, ouch I’m getting old…
Give me one, give me one, give me one… :)))
That cable looks fantastic!
I must say this cable looks very premium
What can I say, er, awesome!
The presentation box and leather case is, er, awesome 
Mainstream at £20, I’m in - not holding my breath!
But perhaps gold effect plugs to reduce the price?

Great Insider
I’ll add it to my watch list, thank-you.
I thought I read somewhere that the portless iPhone would be one of the higher end models. Did I read that wrong?
Any of you guys plan on buying this cable?
Only if there are diamonds added!
Diamonds would fit better to my watch.
This is the watch I use for DIY!
