Does Apple still get a cut in lightning licensing? If so I think they will move engineering heaven and earth to avoid losing that revenue stream so also agree with the above poster that I’d put money on moving to the wireless.

That's absurd.

There is zero possibility that third-party licensing income for the Lightning port standard is a consideration in any engineering decisions at Apple.
