When will HDMI Micro hit the iPhone?

The HDMI 1.4 spec offers some new features. The most notable is Ethernet connectivity. Once more HDMI 1.4-enabled devices hit the market, you can use a single HDMI 1.4 cable to send video, audio, and internet to your TV. Nice. 

In addition, I noticed the HDMI Micro connector.

...designed for cell phones, pocket cameras, and other portable devices where space is at a premium. Roughly the size of a Micro USB connector, it packs all the power and functionality of an HDMI link into a tiny form factor.

The other day I was discussing with a friend and we both thought it would be great to be able to plug in our iPhones directly to the HDTV in the living room. Given the fact that we still don't know if iPad 2 will support USB, I'd venture to say that we can expect a HDMI Micro port on iPhone 11.
