Android is only a threat to Apple's profits, but not its market. There are things that vertical integration provides which are unique and of value to a decent sized population. For instance, it is hard for Motorola to replace a handset which is past its warranty to build brand loyalty. Or hardware only manufacturers cannot provide free or cheap training sessions which may be seem inscrutable to us, but are meaningful to a lot of people. Apple's and Google's models are pretty orthogonal, and there is space for both. Sure they both compete aggressively, but it's everybody else whose models are in a mess.
