Will the iPhone 7 have a USB type C port?
At the time this question was written I would have followed suit with the answers here already - no way!
However, with the newly announced use of USB Type-C on the new Macbook - I would place an 80% chance.
Why?
For a few reasons,
(1) Apple has already adopted USB Type-C in a MAJOR way - there is ONE port on the new Macbook at it is USB Type-C - they made a big deal about it.
(2) the "iPhone 7" will likely come out in 2016 giving Apple enough time to save face for replacing the relatively new, proprietary Lightning cable.
(3) this impacts the consumer in a positive way from a convenience AND price standpoint. Because, USB is "open-source" in a sense that anyone can manufacture, it will be widely available. So when you get in your friends car and they "only have a charger for an Android" it will also work for your iPhone giving iPhone users value in a common daily scenario.
(4) Apple doesn't acquire new technology for the short term. For instance, the fingerprint scanning company they purchased a couple years ago are now embedded across their devices hardware and software.
(5) USB Type-C does it all. Apple released Lightning for a lot of good reasons, power capacity, data exchange capacity and physical size. USB Type-C accomplishes all of these things even better than Lightning - mostly from a power standpoint and, if they want to adopt the latest technologies in high-speed battery charging they will likely benefit from USB Type-C.
