I think it comes down to social class. Most German, French, and Spanish people I know that travel frequently, make upper-professional incomes, and belong to what you would typically say is "upper middle class" are almost exclusively using iPhones.

The difference is that regardless of what device people don't seem to care what others are using. There is no iMessage effect cause other messaging platforms are used which behave the same on both iOS and android. At the same time it's also not a status symbol the way it may be in US. A top end Samsung generally costs more than a top end iPhone.
