Innovation isn’t what floats Apple any longer, instead, it is the network effect of the entire platform integrating seamlessly. As long as the iPhone is on par with the competition (meaning it doesn’t need to be revolutionary), then Apple users will stick around because it is simply too difficult to switch.
Eventually, consumers will purchase the next iteration of the iPhone and really what Apple needs to try to do is shorten the length of time between upgrades.

Right, but the phones are getting harder and harder for people to justify giving up what they currently have. Especially with network contracts no longer handing out free/reduced phones. There used to be a large incentive for people to grab Apples “next big thing”, but that strategy isn’t working. I agree that people will keep buying iPhones, but the days of Apple putting up blockbuster numbers I think are largely behind them.
