Windows is not going to go away because something better comes along while that is a real threat for i-phone. Android devices are becoming more popular and could take a real bite out of the i-phone market in the next few years. Apple relies too much on just being cool and cool can change look at bell bottom pants and harvest gold appliances.
I know the only reason I have an i-pjhone is I got for $50 refurbed through AT&T.

In that area it is my understanding that unix/linux still holds the majority market share with Microsoft second. Apple is non-existent in business applications. So, I think their "value" is kind of misleading. They are a strong company no doubt but when it comes to the business world they have no footing.
As far as individual software for business needs goes I know a lot of people with cool iPhones (and they are very cool) who can't even use them for business because their companies MS based software won't sync with the iPhone. I don't see that changing any time soon. Right now Blackberry is still the most well supported business phone/tool. when it comes time to support either Android or iPhone who do you think the developers who write all the syncing software and applications are going to write for? My money is on supporting Android based phones before iPhones. It's funny, I know at least three people with iPhones that want to use them for business purposes but can't; instead they play their fun games and surf the net on them and then ask their bosses for a company Blackberry.
