Even if you're an Android fan you have to admit this is a pretty uneducated analysis.
First, he's guessing on the revenue (while conveniently not mentioning how much Apple makes per phone in revenue)
Second, saying "Apple is getting beaten by a license-the-software-to-everyone strategy" is a little ignorant. History is never finished and claiming Microsoft beat Apple in the PC wars ignores the last decade of evidence that things are swinging the other way. You could just as easily make the argument that licensing works at drawing in users but users get so frustrated with incompatibilities that they eventually go to a more integrated solution. Which brings me to...
Finally, surveys have shown the true question of whether Android will crush iOS is in the buyers next phone choice. Do they stay with Android or is their satisfaction level so low that they're driven into Apple's hands? That question won't be answered for years.
I don't mean to discount Android's accomplishments which are significant. But this article about those accomplishments is just silly
