According to a new research report from Nielsen, there were so many purchases of iPhones around the holidays that Apple sharply whittled down the market share lead of Android smartphones in the United States by the end of the year. In December, less than three percentage points separated the share of Android devices and iPhones among new smartphone owners.

A couple of years back, AT&T offered select customers a $25 prepaid MasterCard to switch their billing over to autodraft.
