Sorry I may not have been totally clear. If their old alarm clock worked with a new Apple product a user is really likely to buy a new Apple product over a competitors.
If a user has to upgrade their phone and alarm clock because a new product cycle came out, they are more likely to look at Apple and its competitors and really evaluate which product is right for them.
If the alarm clock still works it's an incentive for them to stick with Apple products. If they have to upgrade all their accessories as well there is no incentive to stick with Apple products.
I don't have any accessories for my phone at the moment. The only things I have is about $20 worth of apps. My phone contract is up in a year. I will be looking into all of my options when upgrading.
