For me, more suitable means more RAM and lower price. I expect both next year because it is what they have done in the past. The port thing is completely overblown. It's a bit of short term pain for a better future.

I will be confused if the next iPhone is not using the usb-c standard though. I feel like that is one thing Jobs would have not let happen. One thing he always seemed crazy about was the ecosystem and all things Apple working together.
