becoming the software nervous system of the coming Internet Of Things much as Windows is the “brains” inside all those PCs in businesses, homes, and cash registers

Definitely some food for thought. Interested in how you see Apple monetizing the connective tissue between these devices, some of which they sell, some of which they will license. I look at at CarPlay as an example where it's so mutually beneficial for the car maker and the iPhone maker that I suspect not a lot of money changes hands either way.

Until I see differently, the iPhone is such an unprecedented profit driver that I think Apple should do everything in the service of protecting and growing iPhone profits. And if that means building/ enabling a health and home-based ecosystem for the iPhone to play in, so be it. But the iPhone is still where the money gets made.
