The longer they waited, the more (now obsolete) Lightning accessories were produced and sold as a result, no?

The longer they waited the longer we could use our existing Lightning accessories we’ve had for years that are now trash and often don’t have good replacements (e.g. docks).

We could spend all day debating this back and forth ("What about all the lightning devices that got thrown out due to the new iPhone" - A somewhat silly argument but...) but I think we probably need to just agree to disagree. I absolutely disagree with Apple on a number of things but there is a lot of nuance here IMHO and teasing it out is well-trodden ground.
