If they want to lock in and focus on their current share, much as they do with their Mac lines, they could continue to command high premiums and make solid, steady profits for many years. I think they should go this route, and I suspect they eventually will. The downside is that profits would likely be more like $20/share/year, but at least they'd be stable.

They just made $14.50 in 1/4 year at their "current share." The US smartphone market is about 65-70% penetrated. The tablet market has growth to come. Outside the US smartphone penetration is lower still.
If Apple, as you suggest, maintains its current share in a larger market over time, it will make more than its current $42-44 run rate. Your number smacks of arbitrariness and is not well thought out.
