iPhone with usbc or no port?

So according to this the iPhone will be completely wireless with no ports. This was inevitable and will make the phone truly waterproof and dust proof. Do you think it will have usb c first or they will skip this and go straight to wireless charging only?

I think we will see it in 2020 or the 2021 at the latest. Thinking the wireless charger will be an additional expense. Reason being, by then there should be enough people w/wireless chargers and they will may offer their own solution along side other options they currently sell, e.g. Mophie. If they do decide to include a wireless charger it may be an inexpensive version like the ones I picked up at the conference as a give away this year, which was a cheap puck w/branding and cord sans the 5W adapter.

I doubt they will lower the phone price b/c people will be so happy at not having a cord anymore. Instead guessing they will bump minimum RAM to 128 GB.

I cant see why they'd stuff 128GB of ram into these things within two years when the current flagship only has 4GB. 128GB is whats in most workstations. Not necessary at all for a phone.

Sorry, not RAM...meant storage.

Guessing you may not take a lot of picture, videos (kids and their plays eat storage, until off loaded) or have a large music library?
