With a Portless iPhone would wired data transfer be possible using MagSafe technology or something similiar?

I was wondering what the future of apple phones would look like since they announced that there would be a portliness iPhone in 2021. Would the icloud become the sole means for data transfer to computers which then would further integrate the user into the apple ecosystem, or would MagSafe become more advanced and be able to not only charge but provide data transfer as well? Another thing I was thinking is if there would be some kind of usb dongle that would have a wifi connection to directly link an iPhone to a Mac or something so provide more reliable wifi transfer or potentially just link using the new wifi 6e that's rumored to be in the new iPhones. So what are your thoughts? Where do you see data transfer going in iPhones future of going portless.

Almost certainly, Apple has been reducing any interactions between an iDevice and a computer for years now, there almost isn't anything left already, and those that are still there can be done over WiFi. Pretty sure there won't be any way to connect both anymore soon enough.

You can still Wifi sync your phone to iTunes, can you not? I have used iCloud for years as it’s convenience is outstanding, but I am pretty sure you can still Wifi sync directly to iTunes.
