"Only Germans seem to love Android even more, as the market share has grown from 58.8% to a whopping 71%."

Pure speculation.
But there may be an explanation for the sales figures:
This Saturn Markt is placed in a shopping mall.
In this mall, there's one of the few Apple stores in the south of Germany (next one in Munich is ca. 80km away).
I can imagine, lots of Apple fans drive to this mall specifically for the Apple store.
Get informed in the Apple store, but then buy from Saturn Markt.
I don't know about iPhones or iPads. But for Apple TV, surprisingly enough, Saturn Markt is ca. 5% cheaper than the Apple store.
(The slogan of Saturn Markt [or was it their "brother" Media Markt?] a few years ago even has been "parsimony/greed is awesome" [Geiz ist geil]).

Meaning: This specific Saturn Markt may attract Apple fans because of the Apple store only 200m away in the very same shopping mall.
Those fans already may have made up their minds to buy an Apple product.
And they may buy from Saturn Markt instead of Apple directly, because of some slight price advantages.
So this Saturn Markt actually really might sell way more iPhones than Androids because of that...
