"but the marketshare future looks like it belongs to Android"

That's fine with Apple. They don't mind having a smaller market share than someone else, as long as they have a big share in that subset part of the market that actually makes money.

How much does Google make on each Android phone sold by someone else?

Google makes $0 on those sales directly. But I don't think they're losing sleep over that. They don't want to make money selling hardware. They think hardware should be a commodity.

I'm pretty sure that Apple would love to have profits and market share over profits alone.
