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?

    Will take years before we get rid of Lightning here. The wife have an iPhone 13 mini and she’ll likely keep that until it dies.

      I wish they update iPhone mini with USB-C in the near future. I do like its form factor and one-handability.

      I’m pretty excited for usb-c but you’re right, it’ll take a while. I’m still not entirely certain if I want to trade in my 11 since it’s still running just fine, but I also have the fiancés 12 mini, both our airpods, and my 9th gen iPad that we don’t plan on replacing anytime soon so we’ll need at least one lightning cable around the house. That said, wireless charging alleviates a lot of that since MagSafe is so convenient. Really just need the cable for the iPad at that point.
