And that's why Apple wins out in the end. Whoever is making those phones is making them at miserable margins, and they aren't even helping Google, since 99% of the people who buy them don't actually use Google services.

Out in public, at college football games, in Starbucks etc, your assessment is extremely accurate.
Young women below 35 are drawn to Android, and unlike the haters claim its not price. A Galaxy S3 is the same exact upgrade price as an iPhone 5 - $199. A Galaxy Note 2 is even more at $299. Yet that doesn't deter those who know the great value & functionality of that model.
Soccer moms 35 or older and senior citizens like simple small iPhones. It's part vanity, they love to be seen with the Apple logo, the other part is a simple camera & phone.
Apple knows its target market well.

For accuracy please post a link to the 99% statistic please. Thanks
Another thing about females, most that I've seen have the bigger screened devices. It kind of reminds me of the big sunglasses fad.

You and I both know, carriers always run specials on Android devices so please stop acting like they are always the same price. Amazon also run specials on Android devices as well. I've never, in my life, seen a carrier or online retailer run specials such as BOGO on new Apple devices.
Do you really think the majority of the Android market worldwide own Android flagship devices?

They have Purses to carry those big screen devices.
