"What do you think about such a move? "

Stupid.

"If you would have the power to choose, would you keep the Lightning connector around on the iPhone and iPad or not?"

Yes.

"Why?"

Because

1) Apple's type C connector will be, more than likely, not fully compatible with the generic USB-standard.

2) Apple forces people (again) to throw away their current investment in peripherals and buy new stuff. I understand that continues renewal is what drives these companies but I thought we were supposed to reduce our ecological footprint on this planet?

"Let us know in the comments."

I did.
Great answer, thank you! ;)

From a compatibility point of view it makes sense, especially since MacBooks now use USB-C. But considering lightning ports are still fully capable of doing the job required of them it will be annoying for those who have new lightning peripherals.

According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Apple is currently redesigning the chargers and the charging interface for its next-gen iPhones and iPads. The iPhones expected to arrive next year will probably drop the existing Lightning connector and replace it with USB Type-C, but — unsurprisingly — Apple still has to confirm this.
