Apple is strong-arming AT&T, IMO. They've basically backed AT&T into a corner by being responsible for pretty much all of AT&Ts growth over the last few years and AT&T must be all too painfully aware of that. The iPhone continues to dominate in spite of AT&T and that has the other carriers' attention and they're trying hard to step up their game with non-iPhone options. That much is good for everyone else, at least.
