Really? iOS has very effectively abstracted away the filesystem at a consumer level. I don't see it as much of a jump to see that occurring at the programming level, at least for application-level coding. Obviously, there will always be a need for a class of programmers who are intimately familiar with the lowest levels, but that set of programmers will always be vastly smaller than the numbers of those who code line-of-business applications, etc...
