I would wager you'll never see it: either it'll stay with Lightning indefinitely, or they'll drop the charging port entirely (which would be unfortunate).

The keep rolling out new devices like this with Lightning. If they were going to start a transition, this or the AirPods would have been the logical place to begin.

Yeah, we'll never see an Apple device with USB-C, besides all of their laptops. Those chargers are great for Android phones!

The iPad Pros and 4th Gen have USB-C. Not sure why the iPhone doesn't at this stage.

Because Apple wants to make more money on lightning cables.

This is highly likely. They'll probably just include a magsafe charger and run data over it for dev purposes. But knowing Apple the data magsafe will cost more/ be an add-on
