Perhaps it is to do with the much greater prevalence of pay and go phones outside the US?
The cheapest PAYG iPhone is £320 (cheapest 4S is £500).
You can get a Samsung Galaxy Mini for £70, a Galaxy Ace for £110.
You'd have to
really want an iPhone for that difference. If all you wanted was a smartphone with email, browsing and a few games, it is far too expensive.
The iPhone is really only viable on contract, at least in the UK, I would imagine that lower-end Android phones would dominate the PAYG market.
If you are looking at contract phones, the difference is much lower.
