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?

I already had a lot of USB-C stuff, then bought some lightning stuff as I had my first iPhone (13). I think I won’t buy a new iPhone until they make em USB-C.

Yeah. Unfortunately I have my my phone, and two pairs of headphones that aren’t usb-c. I’m afraid it will be years before I can have one cord to rule them all.

I’ve long since ditched lightning for wireless anyway. But it’ll be nice to just have one cable in my go-bag.

The iPhone is the only one I’ll gladly replace. AirPods, not gonna happen since I’m always charging them wirelessly

Funnily you would have this because of the European Unions directive and at the time Apple was opposing the move, because they want them to get their Lightning license fee from all third party makers of accessories and this source of income would dry up once they switch to USB-C.

I am actually a bit surprised of how many people are supporting Apple’s anti consumer behavior by buying their stuff.
