Android is also Apple's antitrust friend, just as Apple was for MS in another era. And a popular free operating system protects Apple from entrants (like Windows Phone) because it's hard to compete with free. Yet, it suits Apple because their focus is premium products and premium profits - they aren't suited to, and don't want to, cover low-end commodity markets. So there'd be a gap there anyway.
