Sure, Apple will most likely still make far more money per sold iPhone device than competitors will per Android phone, but the trend is clear: as much as I love my iPhone, it will be relegated to a ~10% market share figure within a few quarters.

Not enough to make a difference, but I think it could be significant.
I've made the switch to Android, after using an iPhone and then a WM8. But I'll be switching back to iPhone. Android is just too slow. Even with 8 cores.
Additionally, cost is a big draw for Android. If Apple starts offering a cheaper alternative, it might change the game.
For phones like Samsung S4 and HTC One the cost is not a big draw. I have never heard iPhone users complain about the price? People that just want a cheap phone don't really care which OS it is.
About performance: my HTC one feels super fast even with task switching
