The UK Home Office published data in 2014 about phone thefts [0], it's pretty interesting. Over 50% of thefts in London were iPhones, they were the only ones with a higher share of thefts than of the market (by miles - their market share was <15%) (page 13).
I can't find a newer analysis, but probably worth pointing out that they mention manufacturer security improvements reducing thefts, and iOS has obviously had some of those since 2014.
