"I'm skeptical Apple will continue to be able to charge the prices it's asking for new products when competitors are making almost the same thing for 20% of the price."

So the key word there is "almost." iPhone is differentiated from its competition, by brand, platform, and design. I think you are failing to appreciate how successful Apple had been following the same game plan in the PC space. The average Mac sells for $1400. The average PC sells for $450. There's always going to be a high end market, be it phones, PCs, TVs, etc. There's no guarantee that Apple will always dominate the high end, of course, but price erosion by the lowest cost provider isn't my most immediate concern.
