Too many people were charging their phones by putting them in and starting the microwave.

Speed ports. They make the microwave work faster.

@futurebird to find a new way to sell you $55 replacement fuses for when you inevitably plug two devices in *and* run the microwave. (It says not to do that in the manual!)

@futurebird so you can plug in one of those usb mug warmers to warm up your coffee, since there's no other convenient way to warm it up nearby

@futurebird The ports allow the microwave to cook USB drives.

@futurebird

Wireless charging. You actually only plug one end of the USB cable into the port and it charges the mobile at the other end of the room. The cable acts as a microwave antenna, therefore it makes sense to integrate mid-range wireless charging (3-7 meters distance) into the microwave. Also the klystron in a microwave has enough power for such an application. You couldn't fit a klystron in typical charger...

@futurebird that's for plugging in a GPS unit to discipline the magnetron frequency.
