> Android phones came a year after the release of the iPhone

In 2010, 3 years after iPhone release, Android had around 8% market share. It grew something like 1200% that year. These things aren't linear with time.

Currently, Android has 80% smartphone market share. Android smartphone market share growth is over. And yet, iPhone web usage share remains much higher than Android’s.

"Android barely beats iOS in terms of mobile web browsers that actually go online."

where do you get your numbers?

Hitslink and Statcounter.

so you are tracking your own sites. well maybe they appeal to iOS users.

Eh, no. Hitslink’s data[1] comes from approximately 160 million visitors per month. StatCounter’s data[1] comes more than 3 million websites. Caveat: StatCounter’s hasn’t been reporting very reliable global stats lately, it’s most useful for Europe and North America.

Personally, I use Mint[3] for analytics on my websites, iOS usage share is much higher for those.
