Apple'siPhoneIsHelpingT-MobileSecureMarketShareInTheUnitedStates

In a new report from Kantar Worldpanel, it is noted that Apple's iPhone is continuing to help U.S. carrier (or rather, self-proclaimed "uncarrier") T-Mobile increase its share of smartphone sales in the United States.
It's been over five months now since T-Mobile's "gangbusters" iPhone launch day, and one month following the launch the carrier noted that it had sold 500,000 of Apple's smartphones.
Now, however, we're hearing from Kantar Woldpanel (via AppleInsider) that the iPhone is expected to have contributed to an increase in T-Mobile's share of U.S. smartphone sales. During the three months leading up to August 2013, T-Mobile's market share grew to 13.2 percent, which is up 1.1 percent from the previous period.
Kantar director Dominic Sunnebo said:

When iOS first debuted on T-Mobile in mid-April, the majority of sales came from consumers upgrading from a featurephone to their first smartphone. However, looking at those who purchased an iPhone in the August period, 56% of those consumers came from another smartphone, including 38.5% from an Android device.
