Ming-Chi Kuo: In addition to Face ID support, we expect the new iPad Pro models’ main upgrade to include replacing Lightning with a USB-C interface and bundling with a new unibody design 18W power adapter, which cancels the removable plug design.

I would find this a bit surprising, but nowhere near as shocking as if they moved iPhones to USB-C. On the one hand, Apple is positioning iPad Pros as alternatives to laptops, so a USB-C port makes sense for connecting peripherals. But if the rumors are true that this year’s iPad Pros don’t have headphone jacks, this doesn’t make much sense at all. This would mean someone with a Mac, iPhone, and iPad would need three different headphone adapters.

Still using an iPhone 4 and that I got that for free and had unlocked. Most new apps don't work on it but I don't care for apps really.

I have a newer android phone, but only really use my internet browser and freeware games and apps from FDroid that would probably run on a toaster. I'm considering downgrading if this phone dies
