There are still some accessories that still use the Lightning port. Most notably the AirPods, AirPods Max, Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. I don't know if these will get a USB-C update or not.

AirPods Pro already are.

The rest will follow suit, likely with a generational update. I’m expecting USBC AirPods Max 2 this coming spring.

I hope they bring new colors to that as well.

You're talking about the AirPods Pro, which did get USB-C, not the regular AirPods, which didn't.

That’s a good question. Those items seem to get updated like once a decade. It would be nice if they got updated to USB-C.

So I guess we'll be waiting until the 2030s for the next update for the Magic accessories

Probably. Unless they get a bill from the EU and suddenly remember they sell keyboards and trackpads. 😂
