Apple unveiled its latest iOS 13 beta update during the WWDC 2019 event a couple of weeks ago. With iOS 13 there came the dark mode and bunch of other stuff for iPhones. However, one undisclosed feature by the company was revealed by a person on twitter who had the beta version of the update installed.

The shared image shows that Apple could discard the lightning port and instead use USB-C port for its next iPhone, possibly iPhone 11.
The picture posted on Twitter(France User) witnessed something interesting when he plugged his iPhone to a Mac. The user noted that icon seems to be that of a USB-C cable than the lightning cable.

This clearly symbolizes that the Tim Cook company might subsequently be ready to abandon the lightning port for a USB Type-C. Notwithstanding, the fact that nothing is official and these details should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Nearly every Android phone maker has shifted to Type-C connectivity; Apple is the only one who is yet to make a change. With the Type-C port, you get a lot of added functionality when compared to the lightning cable. You get faster data Transfer Rates, better Power Delivery and much much more.
Apart from the introduction of the USB-C port in the next iPhone reports suggests that Apple is also planning on skimming the 3D touch technology from the iPhone 11.

A System-wide Dark Mode
Faster app loading time when compared to previous OS updates
All new Apple Sign in feature with a major focus on privacy
Revamped Maps and Health app
