I wonder if the charging port on mobile devices will go the way of the 3.5mm jack and be replaced with Qi and other wireless charging protocols. I also wonder if we will be forced into Bluetooth for all extension devices we used to connect to usb-c.

It's definitely a possibility. Mac OS has a thing that will let you restore the operating system by downloading it directly from the web over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. So it wouldn't surprise me if phones eventually have that kind of recovery system that will let you connect to Wi-Fi as well to download the image.
