They used the word global but I had a suspicion the numbers are from NA (or even USA) only. When I searched for their source I found a report claiming to be global that has very different figures for vendor shares. Apple with a 5.2% market share. I know it doesn't translate directly into 5.2% iOS share but it definitely won't be on part with Android as the article reported.
The figures are correct, Apple was briefly the biggest manufacturer of smartphones, in between Nokia and Samsung having that title. 5% is more likely their share of all mobile phones, including non-smartphones.
But if were talking Googles income then the Android vs iOS stats are more relevant qhich are more like 60 vs 20%
