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.

Earbuds only cost $4 and last years before breaking. Wireless audio devices cost a lot more and break sooner. Of course they're going to get rid of the 3.5mm jack, there is no cash money reason not to.
