Is Apple preparing to dump the Lightning connector already? quoting : "CNET"

referring to While it's likely that Apple would bundle a USB-C to Lightning adapter with the iPhone 8 (yay, more dongles!) But its adoption would also likely call into question how committed Apple is to the Lightning port, and that in turn, could have a detrimental effect on accessory sales. However, on the Mac front, it seems that Apple is shifting away from the MagSafe and Thunderbolt (as well as regular USB 2/3) to the USB-C port. It's potentially a bold strategy for sure, perhaps indicating that Apple wants to create a separate "iPhone Pro" line. iOS devices have all thus far made use of proprietary connectors, so the shift would certainly be an odd one for Apple, especially considering that Apple pulls in money from licensing the Lightning port through its "Made for iPhone" program.
