Yeah iphones were premium/valuable enough that people would go through the trouble to repair them even if they had to deal with some glue. With android phones the resale value/demand wasn't there (also due in part to bad software support lifetimes which would also need to be addressed) so they'd just get tossed/shelved after 2 to 3 years even if they were perfectly functional.
