All the signs are there!

Recently, several Apple news stories have all subtly lent themselves to the idea that Apple’s iPhone might one day not have any ports at all. Apple has a complicated relationship with ports on its iPhone, a factor onlookers and haters are often quick to remind it of. Famously, Apple chose to ditch the 30-pin connector of the iPhone in favor of its smaller Lightning Dock. Not only did eschewing the 30-pin dock save a heap of space at the base of the iPhone, but it also paved the way for Apple’s second, and arguably more controversial design change, getting rid of the headphone jack.

At the time both decisions were met with a lot of pushback and outcry. Apple did not help its case by charging people $25 dollars for an adaptor so they could keep using their old 30-pin accessories. Thankfully, Apple learned from its mistake with the headphone jack, choosing to include the adapter with new iPhones.

But what about no ports? Could it happen? Well, several recent …

Whether your official dock is on the fritz or you’re simply looking to purchase a new one for another room in your home, springing for a new dock is expensive. Third-party docks tend to be smaller, less expensive, and more portable. However, it’s a known fact that they’ve been known to kill Switch consoles like with the Switch’s firmware 5.0 update debacle. We’ve done the research to determine which third-party docks won’t brick your system. There are only a few that we trust in, so the pickings are small, but they’re safer than the rest. Take a look and see which one would work best for you.

Word of Warning!

While these third-party manufacturers have taken precautions to create a device that works with current Switch software and updates, it’s possible that a future software update from Nintendo could cause problems at any moment. Remember that using any unofficial accessories puts your Switch console at risk. Please be careful and cautious when considering using anything but the of…
