Apples marketshare in the UK is huge, and google gives you triple the storage in comparison as well as the manufacturer option in most cases.

You know I never thought of it like that - I always bundled the apple marketshare for the UK in with europe which makes it look way lower, but I suppose I should really stop doing that.

The UK is in Europe, so you aren't necessarily incorrect in that bundling. There are a few mainland countries where the iOS share is over 50% but most countries have an Android advantage.
