Third-party cables, docks, and maybe even specialty slim side dongles will fill the gap quite nicely. I'll still wait for the second iteration of this lot simply because I've been bit too many times in the past by first-gen Apple products. I'm going to let time decide for me if this is a good decision or not. For decades I have grumped about the death of so many things, that in the end they didn't really matter.
