Who is talking about models here?
FACT: Android smartphones VASTLY outselll iPhones worldide.
“In fact, in the US, when the iPhone sales are looked at among the longer term iPhone carriers such as AT&T and Verizon, the rates of customers choosing iPhone over Android are far higher, with AT&T reporting 69% and Verizon 51% of their customers in Q1 2012 choosing iPhones!”
Fortunately, the US is no longer that biggest smartphone market in the world. China is. And in China, Androids vastly outselff the iPhones, with Androids registering a sobbering over 68% market share in China:

FACT: iPhones generate more profit for Apple than Android phones (combined) do for other manufacturers, despite the "market share gap". As noted, Apple chooses not to compete in the low-margin portion of the market, so market share is a relatively misleading statistic.
Only those who choose to ignore the top three selling phones worldwide come from one single company, who makes 65% plus of ALL cellular phone profitsnot just smartphone profits, and compare hundreds of makers against a single manufacturer.
And in 2011, when those figures were compiled, for 80% of the period, iPhones were NOT carried on any carrier, and when picked up, it was on the second largest carrier. . . As the largest's TD-CDMA Network is incompatible with iPhones. That 68% includes Baidu OS which is incompatible with Android but is counted as Android even though it is an unauthorized fork... And dumb Android feature phones. iOS iPhones in 2011, STILL commanded a 5.7% market share without an official carrier and NO SUBSIDY, selling for four times the cost of an Android phone.
