Apple lightning interface patent clause

Apple recently filed a new patent application, probably about using electromagnetic waves to transmit data. This question is not clear. If this patent can be put into use, it is expected that the iPhone will completely eliminate the Lightning interface. For a long time, Apple has been committed to strengthening the dust and dust resistance of the iPhone. IPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus began to support IP67 waterproof and dustproof, and the waterproof ability of iPhone XS was improved to IP68. If the lightning interface can be cancelled, it will be a great progress. After all, the best way to prevent dust and water is to reduce the number of openings in the fuselage.
