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 was considering it, but I can’t justify the upgrade from iPhone12 as it works fine. I did upgrade from iPad 2 to the mini which has usb c, as does my laptop. AirPods being lighting make it 50/50 usb c/lightning.

I’ve decided to go for this kind of thing in the mean time. Having the little nubbins is probably annoying, but a more budget friendly option for me to not have to always have two types of cables handy

I use a similar thing. I’ve got a variety of devices across Micro-USB, USB-C and Lightning. The nubbin is annoying, but it’s worth it to have few cables that charge all my devices. I definitely look forward to getting everything to Qi 2 and/or USB-C, but I’m not going to replace devices just for that.
