I'd say there's a relative but slim chance of the new phone having a USB-C port, they changed from the 30Pin to Lightning after 5 iterations of the iPhone (and that was 5 model years ago...).

But I think it's more likely they will keep Lightning around for a few more years as they are using it on more than just iOS devices now (see their keyboard and mice, and some of their wireless headphones).

Though it would be nice for them to release an updated version of the standard that can use the higher data transfer speeds afforded by USB3. Especially seeing as they're using NVMe for local flash storage, it could potentially speed up the restore process for iOS devices from your computer.
