The headphone jack went extinct on iPhones starting with the iPhone 7. Now it seems like the Lightning port may be the next to go.
Apple reportedly considered removing the Lightning port on the iPhone X, according to Bloomberg (via MacRumors). While earlier rumors claimed that Apple may remove the Lightning port in favor of USB-C, Apple's goal may be to remove all ports entirely.
