Why do you think it's more likely they used Android phones ?

As of May 2015, iOS has 53.5% of the mobile market Android 41.7% (in Belgium) - source: http://howwebrowse.be/

I want to add that not only the price is crucial but a bit of security. Using a closed OS with belief you're not being tracked? Well, they are not so stupid. The best choice for such things is a chinese no-name-smartphone on Android or just an old Nokia on Symbian^3 or 9.4.

My guess would be price, especially if they're periodically changing phones to reduce their chances of surveillance. OTOH maybe they weren't doing that.
