I don't think this is going to happen anytime soon. It may happen once we get extremely fast wireless file transfer speeds only. For now it just doesn't make sense. I'm not sure how this entire rumor started, but we still and will keep needing a port for a long time.

Bluetooth headphones are some of the worst things to make your case with. They are e-waste, with by default lower audio quality then wired headphones. With wired headphones, you don't have to worry about codecs, you have instant (no lag) lossless audio, a device that does not need to be charged and does not require any rare metals or microprocessors to manufacture.
Come back when you know what you're talking about.

The progression of technology has always been towards wireless/cordless. From phones to vacuum cleaners, they’re all cordless now. The question will simply can the tech and innovation be convenient enough for the masses.
Take Bluetooth headphones. They’ve been Bluetooth headphones for ages, but it takes BT LE, TWS, and innovation of battery charging case and software on the phones to make todays TWS earbuds convenient enough that they can comfortably replaces wired earbuds.

I have an external SSD which I carry around for work and photo taking.
Without USB-C, I have to either invest in a Wireless SSD, which is bigger, heavier and have to be charged regularly, or I have to pay BIG monthly fee for cloud storage and data plan :(

Absolutely not. Since I started using my Sony Xperia 1 iv, I just don't see all those claims about "wireless is the future" being true when the headphone jack provides the easiest plug-and-play solution with the lowest latency. Frankly speaking, my Sony wireless earbuds is dusting in the drawer waiting to be sold.

Apple removed the charging brick, samsung and xiaomi followed right after. Because they can make money selling the accessories separately. A fast charge brick is let's say 50$. A wireless one can easily go up to 100$ for the same wattage. Maybe even more because you have no other choice but to buy one

If you are leaving your phone unattended long enough that someone can steal your sd card you should be happy they didn't steal your entire phone. Also what data do you store on the sd card besides photos?

Might as well remove the power button, and also volume rocker. The first Hologram displays will be out in 5 years time. That's future.

And you cant compare Apple to anything with Android cause they have 0 competition with there operation system. All you can compare with apple is there latest chip to latest SD or Mediatek chip and how much of these devices sell with these chips to have fair ground to compare with something on Android that is used on 100 different brands
