You're comparing the prices of only 2 android phones, when there are a lot more models available. None of these two phones are very popular in my country or in China. The most popular devices here are mid-end Android phones, like the Moto G series phones. Furthermore, what is supposed to differentiate Apple is its software, because hardware is a commodity. Being "the fastest" doesn't appeal much to costumers as compared to price, and to the default software experience.
