Market share can be a misleading metric. There may be many more Android phones sold at any given moment, but a majority of them are very low-end phones that have a short life-span. In contrast, most iPhones get used for a long time. If they don't break, they typically get handed down or resold when their owners upgrade. This means that there are (relatively) more old iPhones in use than old Androids, which means that the usage share is closer than the market share would suggest.
