I don't know what ASP is and attempts to explain away how Android is far more popular than iOs are neither interesting nor relevant to this discussion (how did Apple get a massive head start if most consumers are price concious?); the fact is, if people were upset about Android updates it would result in people not using Android (which is manifestly not the case) and it would be addressed by Google (which it is not doing).

If the people are upset with their Ford, they'll buy BMW! Nope, doesn't make any sense!

  No, but it you change BMW to another make of car that doesn't have the same level of stigma it makes perfect sense.

    How about Mercedes, or Porsche?

ASP is Average Selling Price. If you don't know what it is, how can you know whether it is relevant or not? Apple got a massive head start because there were plenty of non price sensitive consumers to sell to. Android overtook iOS because there are many more people who can't afford Apple's prices. It doesn't matter whether people care about the shortcomings of Android, such as the update problems. If they can't afford Apple's higher prices, they will by Android instead.
