New data from Kantar Worldpanel, which classifies a phablet as a phone with a screen of 5.5-inches or larger, shows that the 6 Plus' hold has increased to 44% of all phablet sales during Q1 2015.<!--break--> The phablet market itself made up 21% of all U.S. phone sales during the quarter.</p> <p>Apple also did well overall at the three largest cellular carriers in the U.S., AT&amp;T, Verizon, and Sprint.
