All three iPhones rumored to be launched in 2017 will retain Lightning connectors with the addition of USB-C Power Delivery for faster charging, including the all-new OLED model, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ming-chi-kuo/).

An excerpt from his latest research **te obtained by MacRumors:New 2H17 models may all support fast charging. We believe all three new iPhones launching in 2H17 will support fast charging by the adoption of Type-C Power Delivery tech**logy (while still retaining the Lightning port). A key technical challenge lies with ensuring product safety and stable data transmission during a fast charge. In order to achieve that goal, we think Apple will adopt TI's power management and Cypress's Power Delivery chip solutions for the new iPhone models. We **te the OLED version may have a faster charging speed thanks to a 2-cell L shaped battery pack design.Kuo expects Apple to retain the Lightning port because it has a slightly slimmer design compared to a USB-C port, to sustain MFi Program (https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/) licensing income, and because he believes USB-C's high-speed data transmission is "still a niche application" for iPhone. Lightning officially supports up to USB 3.0 speeds.
Kuo's prediction comes just two days after The Wall Street Journal seemingly reported that at least one upcoming iPhone model would have a USB-C port instead of a Lightning connector (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/28/iphone-8-oled-screen-usb-c/). However, the report's wording was somewhat vague and sparked a lot of confusing (http://daringfireball.net/2017/02/wsj_lightning_usbc_rumor) reaction (http://www.macworld.com/article/3175719/apple-phone/should-apple-dump-lightning-from-the-iphone-8-the-cases-for-and-against.html) among the Apple community.
Apple's latest MacBook (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/) Pro models are equipped with Thunderbolt 3 ports, which share the same connector design as USB-C, while the 12-inch MacBook also has a USB-C port. Apple could still bundle a Lightning to USB-C cable with its next iPhones to allow for connectivity with those **tebooks out of the box.
