I wonder if the charging port on mobile devices will go the way of the 3.5mm jack and be replaced with Qi and other wireless charging protocols. I also wonder if we will be forced into Bluetooth for all extension devices we used to connect to usb-c.

God I hope not, that would lead to awful battery health and lots of laggy interactions with devices over Bluetooth since the bandwidth for bt5 is 2 Mbps
that’s just straight up inaccurate information. bluetooth low energy has a data rate of 2mbps, which was introduced with bluetooth 5. regular bluetooth 5 has a 50mbps bandwidth based on a very cursory google search
The only way that would work is if you can use your phone for longer than a day, or if wireless charging is powerful enough to use your phone while it’s charging wirelessly. Most devices have pretty poor battery life with constant, active use, and users need to plug their phones in for extended gaming sessions, long video conferences, and stuff like that. You can’t charge your phone wirelessly while you’re using it right now, and that’s a deal breaker for most people.
