It's like a wobbly table until you bend the knee and shell out a few bucks for a case. Same thing with removing the ports: can't charge your phone and listen to music at the same time if you are a wired charger user and wired headphone listener. That privilege previously enjoyed by default on every single cell phone ever made is now reserved to customers who purchase wireless charging or wireless headphone accessories. Shell out a few more bucks on junk you didn't need a generation ago, or deal with a sub par experience out of the box, as always with Apple these days.
