 Also, USB-C port controls to disable the port or it's data transfer lines. Possibly the biggest feature against a physical threat except autoreboot. You could write about almost every feature/enhancement we have and an example on how it protects against a forensics threat. 🤔 Well, I could anyway. 
 Love the new USB-C features for disabling data. And to speak to the last part, yes 🔥 that's why we're friends ;) 
 That's a plain AWESOME feature!

Just disabled it on my phone! =))

Future Pixels are *alleged* to have Qi2 wireless charging with magents, if it's true then then someone could charge with that and never use the port at all, and since it's magnetic you shouldn't need to stop using the device to charge it.
