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 an all-new OLED model with a larger L-shaped battery (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/13/iphone-8-stacked-logic-board-longer-battery-life/) and updated 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models, 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 given it has a slightly slimmer design compared to a USB-C port, to sustain MFi Program (https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/) licensing income from Lightning accessories, and because he believes USB-C's high-speed data transmission is "still a niche application" for iPhone.
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/) already supports USB 3.0 speeds (https://www.macrumors.com/2015/12/08/apple-lightning-to-sd-adapter-usb-3-ipad-pro/) and fast charging with a Lightning to USB-C cable (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/21/apple-lightning-to-usb-c-cable-adapter-ipad-pro/), while iPhones and other devices with a Lightning connector still transfer at USB 2.0 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.
