Ah, so the problem is that you can't read graphs. Android's share is oscillating around 50%, it's not declining. Apple's share increased by taking market share from everyone else.
The "Android is eating Apple's lunch" bubble is not affected by the first dataset because of the different mindsets of the companies when it comes to profit. Apple charges
$649 for a phone that costs $207 to manufacture, while Google doesn't charge for Android.
As for the second dataset, it bursts the "Android is eating Apple's lunch" bubble in the same way in which the fact that it snows in winter disproves global warming.
