I hold the opposite view for one reason: The iPhone itself.
With 85% of new phones running Android [1] I think it's only a matter of time before the 'app gap' tilts in Android's favor. At that point it will be game over for iPhone.
On a more personal note I have found my $420 Nexus 5 to be on par with an $869 iPhone 6 - and that can't be good for Apple's long-term financial health.

FWIW, I made the exact same switch as well -- Nexus 5 to iPhone 6 -- and I definitely prefer the iPhone.
