(in this case, the lightning port, you can buy converters, from Apple, naturally).
So, who's stopping them to make a converter that works wirelessly instead of using the lightning port?

I've been transferring files wirelessly to and from my phone (and even from phone to phone) since I have a smartphone. One of the first things I looked for was an Android FTP-server.
It was actually called
FTPServer, and I use it to this day. I've also set it up for other people, and use some shortcuts in Windows to start an FTP-session in Windows Explorer. The only thing that needs to be done is starting and stopping the server.
OK, it's somewhat technical to set up, but now I can transfer files from and to the phone wirelessly without relying on third party services or devices. When using a file explorer with FTP client on another smartphone, it obviously works from phone to phone as well.

Get a very professional camera, with integrated FTP client, and use an ad-hoc wireless connection between the phone and the camera. The Canon 1D-series can do this for some years already. (Granted, you'll paaaaaay...)
