I don't have any data at hand but considering the price difference I'd be very, very surprised if iPads were selling more (by volume) than all Android tablets aggregated.

I did a quick search about 7" Android tablets and most of the non-Samsung ones I found seem to cost ~100$ and usually come with a quad-core A7 @1.2GHz SoC. On the single-threaded performance front that's painfully slow but for that price it's hard to complain. The cheapest iPad available has a couple of A9s @1GHz which is hardly better but at 2.5X time the price it's a really bad proposition if you're in the market for a cheap model.
