The pricing gap also rules Apple out in a lot of markets. Almost nobody has Apple here in Spain, the only people i see are tourists and expats.

While not as popular as Android, last time I checked iOS was at 28% market share. That’s hardly “almost nobody”.
It's not the pricing gap, there's Android phones more expensive than the most expensive iPhone. There's just also tiered alternatives.
It's the fact Euro carriers are less likely to subsidize or finance the phone. And realistically, a $500 phone is pretty good these days.
In Canada (where phones are subsidized and/or financed) there's very few budget Android phones too. Almost all Samsung flagships, Pixels, etc...
