Apple makes their money from services, not hardware. Declining new iPhone sales would only be a problem if people left the ecosystem to buy Android phones.

That’s not true. They make less than 20% of their revenue from services. The iPhone accounts for about 60%.

Here are some nice charts you can look at: https://www.macrumors.com/2018/11/01/apple-4q-2018-results/

Most of their money comes from hardware. And for the largest part of 2010s their services (Store, Music, iCloud) income were insignificant. Even now it's just around 20% of total revenue.
