Considering that it already killed the headphone jack (RIP), removing the Lightning port would make for the first truly cord-free phone. Earlier rumors contradict this, suggesting that Apple will merely exchange the Lightning port for a USB-C. Truthfully, I'm hoping for the latter. > The iPhone 7 Plus' Lightning port (top) vs. Google's Pixel USB-C port (bottom).
