In another generation or two, I would expect it to be port-less (wireless). This generation was the one to change to USB-C if it were on their roadmap... but I guess time will tell.

I hope they don't switch. I think Lightning is a better engineered connector -- it is very durable and attaches much more positively.

I am 100% on board with USB-C on computers -- but the use cases that apply to a laptop/desktop are very different than how people use phones.

I would actually pay extra $10 for an Portless iPhone or iPhone without USB-C.
