If you're making a mobile app, or especially something for tablets, in a lot of cases most of your users WILL be using Apple products even if it's not specific to iOS.

Market share and pictures of a hand holding an iPhone disagree with you.

Market share? It's been shown that even though a lot of "android" devices may be out there, the majority of use and engagement from mobile platforms is still coming from iOS.

See this post on asymco:

For many markets (probably globally too?), there's no single smartphone that's more popular than the latest iPhone. So if you're only going to put one device in a photo, that'll probably be it.

And if you look only at the demographics you're interested in, it's likely that iOS will be at or near the top anyway.
