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.

Apple will change it first, and Samsung and Google will make fun of them for it and promote how they still let you plug your phone in... Until next year's model when they do the same thing.

Apple will develop their own proprietary Bluetooth version first. iWave or some shit like that

They'll clone the Bluetooth standard, and change a couple of minor things only to make it incompatible with Bluetooth. Like they did with the wired headphone playback controls.
