> Let's say Google release a new phone that is significantly cheaper and/or smarter than an Apple one. nobody would stick to apple.

This is not at all how the consumer phone market works. Price and “smarts” are not only factor that goes into phone decisions. There are ecosystem factors & messaging networks that add significant friction to switching. The deeper you are into one system the harder it is to switch.
