It could be signalling one is a far more attractive target to exploit, because e.g. harden shell, soft interior (M&M architecture). Or maybe Apple patches quicker and gets them out quicker, so exploit lifetime is shorter. Just to be clear, I don't know if that's true, but it's equally plausible explanation for the exploit price

That's a good point- there are nine times as many Android devices out there as iOS devices, making exploits for the former more valuable in certain ways.

The people with iOS devices probably have 9-times the money mind you?
