It seems that USB-C iPhones are on the horizon. There’s a high chance that the rest of the accessories that still uses Lightning port will get updated with USB-C port. I do have have the MagSafe Battery Pack and Duo Travel Charger. Having them all in USB-C seems like a breeze as you don’t need to bring Lightning cable anymore but the transition would be expensive. Anyone replacing all their Lightning accessories once they got updated?

Funnily you would have this because of the European Unions directive and at the time Apple was opposing the move, because they want them to get their Lightning license fee from all third party makers of accessories and this source of income would dry up once they switch to USB-C.

I am actually a bit surprised of how many people are supporting Apple's anti consumer behavior by buying their stuff.
