There is an interesting alternate universe where instead of pursuing services revenue Apple pushed the commitment to open source it started to have in the late 90s/early 2000s (the era when it started doing interesting things like WebKit, Darwin, etc). One where the iPhone started closed (there were very good external reasons for this at the time) and gradually opened up more and more. That would probably have been less profitable, but more equitable.
