Practically the only device which does not utilise USB C these days is the iPhone (including the last model). So that is why BMW added the wireless charging bay.
My 2019 iPad Pro is USB-C (aka Thunderbolt 3) and so is all current gen MacBooks. So why Apple chose to still include a lightening port for the iPhone 12 is beyond me. To add insult to injury they are only including a lightening to USB-C cable in the box and no USB-C charger. WTF? The Apple iPhone world lives in USB-A chargers (included since 2007) and hence my only guess is they want to sell some USB-C chargers as an add on accessory.
