Now the news continues.
About one in 10 mobile phone subscribers in the United States is now using an Apple iPhone.
Latest survey results from research firm comScore showed that for the three-month period ending in October, Apple remained the No. 4 handset maker in the U.S. with its share of mobile subscribers rising to almost 11 percent from 9.5 percent in the previous three months.
Among the top five mobile phone brands in the U.S. market, Apple is the only one that saw its market share increase in the quarter.
Samsung was still the top handset manufacturer with 26 percent of U.S. mobile subscribers, followed by LG and Motorola taking the second and third place.
Research in Motion, maker of Blackberry, ranked No. 5 with a share of 6.6 percent.
Except Apple, market shares of the other four brands remained unchanged or dropped from the previous quarter.
Analysts say Apple's gain in the quarter might be driven by the introduction of new model iPhone 4S which went on sale on October last year.

Scientists warn that millions of people are under threat from melting of Himalayan glaciers.
Scientists have carried out the most comprehensive ever assessment of climate change in the region.
The findings have been published in the Himalayan Times daily by the Kathmandu-based International Center for Integrated Mountain Development.
The study found Nepal's glaciers have shrunk by 21 percent and Bhutan's by 22 percent over 30 years.
It provides the first authoritative confirmation of the extent of Himalayan glacial melting.
The new findings follow a discredited announcement by scientists in 2007 that the region's glaciers would be gone by 2035.
A three-year Sweden-funded research project led by the center showed 10 glaciers surveyed in the region all are shrinking, with a marked acceleration in loss of ice between 2002 and 2005.
Another study found a significant reduction in snow cover across the region in the last decade.
Scientists say the effects of climate change in the Himalayas could be devastating, as the region provides food and energy for 1. 3 billion people living in downstream river basins.
