 @a9ac4931 Probably feasible, especially if it's a charge-through battery case (using USB-C). But I wanted a removable or upgradeable SSD, not one I have to throw away if I upgrade my phone (or vice versa).

 @0c1a9324 @a9ac4931 the utility of the original idea would be worth it regardless, yet the nature of usb-c means that you could always use it as storage for another usb-c device even if the old iphone case form factor isn’t ideal. it couldn’t be worse than this https://i0.wp.com/www.sohrabosati.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Apple-Magic-Mouse-Charging_1.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 😎

 @7e17f4ad @a9ac4931 Yeah, the only good thing about the lightning port on the Magic Mouse is that now Apple is moving to USB-C they'll have to replace it (hopefully with a Magsafe-charged mouse, which at least makes sense).
