They are in the position Microsoft was in 2 decades ago and they own the platform everyone wants to be on. Business has not opened up to Apple products, but they will in the next 5 years, adding another 1.5 tril annual market to open.
The MS, Dells of the world all think they can go to chinese, business, etc to save themselves, but managers want to use the tools they like. Right now, businesses are just sticking their toe into iOS products.
Cycles move faster now though. I'd say they have 10-15 years of dominance left and with no Jobs they won't innovate the new paradigm, whatever it is.
