Apple has first-mover advantage: an 8 year legacy of dock-connector-compatible third party peripherals.
Hah, apple deliberately made changes to how an iPod was charged just so that every third party peripherals would be useless - even though the physical connector was identical - which is of course way worse than just changing the connector.
The reason apple has a lot of peripherals is because apple has so few products, they will be sold for much longer than a samsung phone that is obsolete 6 months after release (especially considering that customers aren't loyal to samsung as they are to apple, the barrier to buy another android device isn't big). That is what is killing the peripheral market.
