That hasn't happened yet. That Apple is growing each quarter means their sales are coming from elsewhere.

And also, it makes a difference with developers. If I want to choose between developing for iOS and developing for Android, I'm going to look at my potential market. If iOS has a much smaller market share, I'm going to put my money towards Android, even if the iPhone is still the best selling single phone.

Also hasn't happened.
No, it's Google that doesn't profit directly from Android, and it's Apple that's winning a profitable share (the most profitable share) of all those who are paying for smartphone hardware.
