The J.P. Morgan View on iPhone 5 Implications: Get
Ready for a Major 12-18 Month Upgrade Cycle
This report presents the collective J.P. Morgan technology and communications
research views on the sector and stock implications of the imminent iPhone 5
launch. We believe that the iPhone 5 will be revolutionary in form factor and
software capabilities, contributing to a major upgrade cycle over the next 12-18
months. The iPhone 5 stands to create winners and losers across the technology
food chain and in the handset market. Our research indicates that supply chain
constraints related to 28nm chips and in-cell displays are easing, which should
make for a fast, far reaching ramp, potentially impacting carriers’ designs on
slowing upgrade rates to protect margin.
 Handset and PC sector implications. We expect the iPhone 5’s battery
performance, screen size, and form factor thickness to sidestep the “battery
hog” and “pocket hog” labels of other LTE-based smartphones, likely hurting
market share ambitions of other handset makers. Meanwhile, we think that a
more user-friendly LTE-based device in the form of iPhone 5 stands to sustain
the land grab of smartphones taking IT dollars from PCs, dampening PC-related
growth prospects at Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and other PC makers.
 Semiconductor sector implications. We believe the iPhone 5 launch
represents one of the few secular growth stories for semiconductors in 2H12.
Within our large-cap semiconductor space, strong demand forecasts for the
iPhone 5 should benefit Apple-levered analog names including Analog Devices,
Fairchild, and Avago. From a SMid semiconductor perspective, we believe the
iPhone 5 launch will likely spur another strong product cycle for connectivity
providers, Broadcom and Peregrine Semiconductor. Qualcomm should also
benefit from increased modem shipments. Conversely, we believe a strong
iPhone and iPad upgrade cycle is a likely negative for PC names such as Intel
and AMD due to cannibalization of PC demand.

 Component/technology enabler sector implications. We expect strong
demand related to iPhone 5 launch to benefit key Apple supply chain names in
Asia-based supply chain, including LG Display (In-cell panels), Samsung
Electronics (AP, mDRAM), LG Innotek (Camera module), and SEMCO
(MLCC). In the context of Paul Coster’s Applied Tech coverage universe, one
stock stands to benefit: Omnivision. In contrast, the introduction of native
mapping and TBT navigation on iOS 6 on the iPhone 5 stands to be a mild
negative for TeleNav, TeleCommunication Systems, and Garmin.

 Wireless carrier sector implications. In the U.S., we expect upgrades to
increase in the near term as a result of the iPhone 5, likely pressuring carriers'
margin profiles. Longer term, we expect the iPhone 5 to accelerate the already
begun upgrade cycle to 4G (LTE) for the U.S. wireless carriers from handset
bases dominated by 3G handsets today. As relates to European telecom
services, it is yet unclear how disruptive the iPhone 5 will be in European
markets, mainly because it is not yet known whether the device will support
European LTE frequencies. In any case, we do not think it will be as disruptive
as in the U.S.

Overview
This report presents the collective J.P. Morgan technology and communications
research views on the sector and stock implications of the imminent iPhone 5 launch.
We believe that the iPhone 5 will be revolutionary in form factor and software
capabilities, contributing to a major upgrade cycle over the next 12-18 months. The
iPhone 5 stands to create winners and losers across the technology food chain and in
the handset market. Our research indicates that supply chain constraints related to
28nm chips and in-cell displays are easing, which should make for a fast, far
reaching ramp, potentially impacting carriers’ designs on slowing upgrade rates to
protect margin.
Key Points on Apple’s iPhone 5
iPhone 5 will be disruptive, driving a major upgrade cycle
Our assumption is that the iPhone 5 will be considered disruptive in terms of form
factor and software capabilities, likely driving a major upgrade cycle over the next
12-18 months. The step-function from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S was evolutionary at
best, rendering the current product set nearly two year old, allowing the competition
to bridge the gap. We think the gap widens after the September 12 announcement, in
favor of Apple. As a result, the iPhone 5 stands to have an impact on the technology
food chain, handset market, and wireless carrier market. These topics are discussed
throughout this report.
Why we think the iPhone 5 will be revolutionary?
We believe the iPhone 5 device and related iOS 6 software upgrades will reaffirm
Apple's position as a leader in the smartphone competitive landscape. In the below
table (Table 1), we detail our assumptions for the incremental design changes for the
iPhone 5, as compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 4S. We consider many of the
changes to be more significant in nature, versus the previous upgrade of the iPhone
product line (iPhone 4 to 4S).

considered a “pocket hog”. We also believe the spatial alignment of the battery,
across a longer plane, will provide for improved battery life without compromising
the pursuit of a sleeker form factor. Lastly, with over 200 new features and
improvements to the iPhone operating system, iOS 6, we think that the Apple stands
to optimize the overall experience for the user beyond just focusing on the physical
device features. We discuss this software-led optimization in the next paragraph.
iOS 6 stands to advance Apple’s role in software-driven services
In our view, two big iOS 6 advancements are Passbook and Maps. We think that
these software-driven services stand to augment the end user’s experience and
underscore Apple’s increasing impact on the digital life. In our view, Passbook is the
precursor to what we have referred to previously as “iPay” for mobile payments.
Lastly, we think that FaceTime over cellular and its integration across the iPhone,
iPad, and Mac is a positive. All of these factors should provide a good set up for high
customer interest in the iPhone 5 device.
Passbook
Passbook is a new feature, which acts as a repository for bar-coded tickets and
coupons, such as airline boarding passes, movie tickets, and Starbucks cards.
Passbook allows consumers to store and access electronic versions of tickets and
merchant cards in one place. Passbook also is dynamic meaning that it can alert
consumers of flight delays or if a merchant is in close proximity, for example.
While early, we believe Passbook could be a precursor to an Apple-driven mobile
payments service, which we have discussed in prior reports. Recall, we believe
Apple could potentially introduce what we have dubbed “iPay” whereby Apple users
pay for goods and services using NFC technology embedded in an iPhone or iPad as
part of a mobile payment platform. Of note, as illustrated in Table 1 above, we do not
currently believe that NFC will be incorporated into the iPhone 5. Rather, we expect
the functionality and usability of Passbook to further evolve over time, and NFC
capabilities to be incorporated into future iterations of the iPhone and iPad.
In our view, Passbook is more about retaining the user’s dependence on the iPhone
for optimized experiences versus incremental monetization. Indeed, we think that
Apple likely faces a major uphill battle in grabbing a financial piece of the mobile
payment market. Payment network incumbents are not likely to cede share to Apple.
Plus, unless Apple is willing to provide its users credit, Apple is not taking on any
financial risk as opposed to the credit card companies running the legacy payment
networks at most retail outlets.
Maps
Another key feature with iOS 6 is Maps, built by Apple with technology from the
recent acquisitions of Placebase, Poly9, and C3 Technologies. The new Apple Maps
application replaces Google Maps in iOS devices. The product works with Siri to
offer voice turn-by-turn navigation. In addition, the new application incorporates 3D
Flyover, which allows users to see places in highly detailed 3D rendering. Apple
Maps also incorporates Yelp to provide listings for over 100 million local businesses.
We believe Apple’s ability to create such a software-driven service demonstrate its
increasing role on augmenting the end user’s digital life.

Siri
Another plus with iOS 6 is that Siri will support iPad. Moreover, Apple has been
increasing its advertisements of celebrity figures relying on Siri. In our view, the
message is that Siri “2.0” will usher in a more consistent, reliable, and expanded user
experience. To point, recall from the June WWDC event that Siri was highlighted as
being part of Apple’s natively-designed Maps, supporting voice turn-by-turn driving
direction, and that within the next 12 months, Siri will be the backbone for “Eyes
Free” service integrating Siri and Maps into automobiles. Apple has highlighted
several auto makers working with Apple on Eyes Free, including Audi, BMW,
Chrysler, GM, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes, and Toyota.
Low smartphone penetration rate globally points to a multiplier effect
Beyond Apple’s market share opportunities within the smartphone market, we think
there is also plenty of headroom for growth for the total smartphone market, too.
This creates a unique opportunity for Apple, as the iPhone could be a beneficiary of a
growth multiplier effect – one part from market share gains within the smartphone
market and a second part from smartphone market gaining share within the handset
market overall. A bigger, stronger Apple stands to impact a wide array of component
suppliers and carriers, in our view.
We expect smartphone adoption to remain brisk for the remainder of C2012 and into
C2013. Below in Table 2, we illustrate J.P. Morgan worldwide iPhone unit sales
estimates, versus our smartphone and handset unit sales estimates. As shown below,
we expect smartphone unit growth of 30% YoY to significantly outpace that of
handset growth of 6%. Meanwhile, we expect iPhone unit growth of 30% YoY in
C2013. Our estimate points to over 50% handsets worldwide to be sold in C2013 are
to be smartphones. In addition, we expect overall iPhone penetration of the handset
market to likely to be only in the high-single digits. In our view, the analysis points
to upside potential for our iPhone estimates, given the relative higher estimated
growth of the smartphone market combined with the iPhone’s low penetration
overall.

We believe the smartphone market has multi-year expansion opportunities ahead
given its low penetration worldwide. In our view, it is inevitable that the growth of
smartphones will slow down and reach saturation at some point. However, we do not
think the event is likely to be a near to mid-term event. As smartphones gain more
functionality at a lower cost, their pervasiveness stands to increase.

As a sanity check, we believe comparison against the penetration of handsets and
PCs worldwide offers a good perspective. Worldwide smartphone market penetration
is well below that of handsets and PCs. As shown in Table 3 below, current
smartphone penetration rates are below that of PC and handset markets across the
world. In addition, we believe there is likely to be a couple years before market
saturation occurs in smartphones. Therefore, smartphones likely have at least three
more years of above-market growth potential before there is potential for growth
headwinds due to saturation of the market, in our view.

We concede our method of determining overall smartphone penetration could be
viewed as flawed. In Table 3 above, we utilized the total population of each region as
the unit of comparison when determining the overall penetration rate of the devices’
installed base. In many regions, 100% penetration is likely unachievable due to
various reasons, including the inability or lack of interest in possessing such a device.
In an effort to alleviate this potential concern, we present a separate analysis method
below, which results in a similar conclusion. As show in Table 4 and Table 5 below,
a different way of analyzing various smartphone penetration rates is through direct
comparison of the installed bases of handsets and PCs. In our view, if an individual is
capable (and willing) to possess either a PC or smartphone, there is a higher
likelihood that same consumer would be interested in owning a smartphone as well.
In Table 4 below, we illustrate the ratio of smartphones to handset installed base
worldwide, by region. Over time, we expect this ratio to rise as increasing

penetration of smartphones cannibalize the handset installed base. As shown, there is
still plenty of room for continued above handset market growth. We anticipate
overall smartphone penetration into the handset installed base to be less than 40% in
C2014. We believe this dynamic indicates plenty of headroom for above-handset
market growth for smartphones. Even so, we anticipate the smartphone market in
more developed regions of the world to saturate in the next 3-5 years.

In Table 5 below, we illustrate the estimated ratio of smartphone to PC installed base
worldwide, by region. As mentioned earlier, we believe a consumer capable of
owning a personal computer will likely also be able and willing to purchase a
smartphone. For this particular analysis, we expect the ratio to rise to greater than
one over time. Reason being is that many households may have only one PC, while
multiple members of a household may own smartphones, in our view.

Broader Implications of iPhone 5
Handset and PC sector implications …
We expect the iPhone 5’s battery performance, screen size, and form factor thickness
to sidestep the “battery hog” and “pocket hog” labels of other LTE-based
smartphones, likely hurting market share ambitions of other handset makers.
Meanwhile, we think that a more user-friendly LTE-based device in the form of
iPhone 5 stands to sustain the land grab of smartphones taking IT dollars from PCs,
which stands to dampen the PC-related growth prospects at Dell and HewlettPackard and other PC makers.
Overall, we believe that our total smartphone estimates already account for an iPhone
driven volume ramp in H2’12. We are currently forecasting 24% 2H/1H growth in
smartphone shipments in H2’12 (28% H/H in H2’11). We see limited impact on the
overall handset market from the possible launch of a new iPhone, due to its small

market share (just 6% in Q2’12). We are already forecasting sequential growth of 3%
and 9% in the overall handset market in Q312 and Q412, respectively.
Supply of Qualcomm’s 28nm chips is generally viewed as one of the key risks to
high-end smartphone industry growth in H2’12. However, in our 28nm chip
supply/demand analysis published on 8 June we concluded that Qualcomm should be
able to meet 28nm chip demand from Apple up to about 40m iPhone 5 units. At
present our Apple analyst, Mark Moskowitz, estimates that iPhone 5 shipments are
likely to be around 25m units in the December quarter – well below QCOM’s ability
to supply 9x15 modem chips. This means that there is plenty of room for upside to
QCOM shipments should the iPhone 5 outpace current market sales expectations.
Semiconductor sector implications …
Despite macro headwinds weighing on semiconductor demand, we believe the
iPhone 5 launch represents one of the few secular growth stories for the sector in
2H12. Within our U.S. large-cap semiconductor space, strong demand forecasts for
the iPhone 5 should benefit Apple-levered analog names including Analog Devices,
Fairchild, and Avago. Qualcomm should also benefit from increase shipments of its
next generation 28nm modem chips. We believe most of the analog suppliers have
low single digit dollar content exposure to iPhone 5 and have implied the levering to
the product roll out in the September guidance commentary. Conversely, we believe
a strong iPhone and iPad upgrade cycle is a likely negative for PC names such as
Intel and AMD due to cannibalization of PC demand and lack of exposure to the
iPhone/iPad.
From a U.S. SMid semiconductor perspective, we believe the iPhone 5 launch will
likely spur another strong product cycle for connectivity providers, Broadcom and
Peregrine Semiconductor. Both companies are already major suppliers of chip
solutions into the current generation iPhone 4S and iPad 3 and we believe that they
have been designed into the iPhone 5 as well.
Other component and technology enabler sector implications …
We expect strong demand and expectation toward iPhone 5 launch to benefit key
Apple supply chain names in Asia-based supply chain, including LG Display (In-cell
panels), Samsung Electronics (AP, mDRAM), LG Innotek (Camera module), and
SEMCO (MLCC). However, as Apple diversifies its key component supply (NAND
Flash and mDRAM) into non-Korean suppliers, magnitude of benefit from iPhone 5
launch to Samsung Electronics and SEMCO shall be smaller given increasing
internal component consumption on back of strong Samsung smartphone
momentum. On the other hand, we believe that high-levered Apple supply names like
LG Display and LG Innotek should benefit more given relatively higher earnings
exposure to iPhone demand.
Design change beneficiaries typically derive the most benefit from new iPhone
launches in the supply chain. In the iPhone 5, we believe the key winners from
iPhone 5 design change should be (1) Hon Hai group / Fanuc due to move to metal
Unibody casings, (2) LGD / Sharp (once yield issues are overcome) due to use of incell touch panels (3) Murata due to move to LTE (higher number of MLCCs and
increased demand for RF front end modules, (4) Samsung for Application processors
(5) TSMC (and potentially UMC) for LTE baseband chips at 28nm.

As relates to Asia electronic components, we expect particularly strong benefits for
high-frequency components. We expect the new iPhone to support LTE and therefore
have 50% more FDD bands than the existing model. Combined with volume growth
for the phone itself, we expect this to drive substantial growth in volume for highfrequency components and in sales for Murata Mfg., Taiyo Yuden, TDK, the three
Japanese passive component makers’ involved in high-frequency parts including
duplexers and band-pass filters. The fact that there are few Asian competitors in
these areas suggests that Japanese companies could readily benefit from market
expansion. We think passive component makers could also benefit from the shift
toward higher added value in mainstay MLCCs.
In the context of Paul Coster’s Applied Tech coverage universe, one stock stands to
benefit from imminent Apple product introductions, including the iPhone 5 launch:
Omnivision. In contrast, the introduction of native mapping and TBT navigation on
iOS 6 on the iPhone 5 stands to be a mild negative for TeleNav (TNAV/N),
TeleCommunication Systems (TSYS/OW), and Garmin (GRMN/UW).
Wireless carrier sector implications …
In the U.S., in the near term, we expect the iPhone 5 to drive higher than expected
upgrades in 3Q12 and 4Q12. We recently raised our upgrade rate for Verizon to
8.0% from 6.8%, AT&T to 8.0% from 6.3% and Sprint to 10.0% from 9.0%. In all
we now expect 9.2m iPhone sales in 3Q12, up from 7.3m previously (when we had
expected a 4Q versus late 3Q launch) and 7.5m in 2Q12. We estimate 12.8m iPhone
unit sales in 4Q12 versus the 13.1m estimate for 4Q11, when the iPhone 4S was
launched. The higher upgrade rates pressures margins for the wireless carriers and
we expect more downside risk to margins in 3Q and 4Q as iPhone 5 sales ramp.
Longer term, in the U.S., we expect the iPhone 5 to accelerate the already begun
upgrade cycle to 4G (LTE) for the U.S. wireless carriers from handset bases
dominated by 3G handsets today. Verizon is the largest U.S. carrier with LTE at
230m covered pops, followed by AT&T at ~80m and Sprint only covers a few
markets. We believe Verizon and the other carriers are eager to migrate customers
from loaded 3G networks to 4G networks to take advantage of relatively empty
networks as well as lower cost and more data efficient LTE.
As relates to European telecom services, it is yet unclear how disruptive the iPhone 5
will be in European markets, mainly because it is not yet known whether it will
support European LTE frequencies. In any case we do not think it will be as
disruptive as in the U.S., given:
• The iPhone accounts for only about half of the proportion of smartphones sold in
Europe compared to the U.S.
• European markets have not displayed extreme margin seasonality in recent years
• European LTE deployments are much less advanced than in the U.S. Only the
Scandinavian markets and Germany have seen substantial LTE at this stage
• Unlike in the U.S. where T-Mobile is the big exception, most operators support the
iPhone

The iPhone accounts for only about half of the proportion of smartphones sold in
Europe compared to the U.S. According to ComTech data, in the quarter leading up
to June 2012 iOS accounted for 37% of smartphones sold in the U.S., but only 26%
in the UK, 20% in Italy, 17% in Germany, 15% in France, and 3% in Spain.

Sector Implications
iPhone 5: Boon for Apple, Thorn for Handset and PC Makers
Our assumption is that the iPhone 5 will be revolutionary in terms of form factor and
software capabilities, driving a major upgrade-cycle over the next 12-18 months. We
expect the new device to sustain Apple’s above-peer growth potential and be an
incremental thorn for handset and PC makers. We expect the iPhone 5’s battery
performance, screen size, and form factor thickness to sidestep the “battery hog” and
“pocket hog” labels of other LTE-based smartphones, likely hurting other handset
makers. Meanwhile, we think that a more user-friendly LTE-based device in the form
of iPhone 5 stands to sustain the land grab of smartphones taking IT dollars from
PCs, which stands to dampen the PC-related growth prospects at Dell and HewlettPackard and other PC makers.

On September 5, we raised our iPhone quarterly unit estimates, as detailed in the
above table (Table 6). As stated often throughout the year, we believe that
smartphones and tablets are grabbing increasing share of IT dollars, specifically
hurting the PC market. We expect the iPhone 5 to be a negative catalyst for the PC
market, as the form factor and software enhancements of the new smartphone stand
to drive end users to refresh their smartphone before considering a refresh of their PC
device.
Stock Implications
As for stock implications, we focus squarely on Apple. In our coverage list, we do
not expect any positive derivative plays. Instead, we expect the PC-related stocks to
be hurt, as the iPhone 5 stands to increase end user's interest in refreshing
smartphones prior to their PCs.
We are not too worried about supply constraints weighing on the iPhone 5 ramp
Our research indicates that Apple still faces supply constraints, but that the company
should be able to sidestep the constraints more than previously anticipated. The
trouble spots remain 1) 28nm chip shortages and 2) in-cell display shortages, but we
do not expect the hurdles to be as high as previously feared. Our assumption remains
that approximately 50-60% of iPhone units in the Dec-Q will be iPhone 5-related,
with the contribution increasing in 1H C2013. We expect the iPhone 5 to face some
gross margin headwinds in the initial stages of the launch, followed by gradual
increases in product gross margin as manufacturing yields improve.

Ability to absorb product cyclicality should improve over the next 12-18 months
In our view, Apple has become the leader of the mobility age from a device and
content perspective. With its optimized smartphone, tablet, and notebook PC form
factors, complemented by its iTunes/App Store ecosystem, the company singlehandily has disrupted the technology playing field. With the exception of the recent
June quarter, over the past 7-8 years, Apple has been able to avoid operating
volatility due to product cyclicality. To avoid further volatility and for the stock to
remain upward biased, we think it is important for the iPhone 5 and iPad mini to
construct a multi-quarter adoption period, which we expect to manifest.
Apple needs to reassert its ability to absorb the volatility associated with product
cycle-driven cyclicality, in our view. Based on our estimates, the iPhone and the iPad
segments now make up 60% and 20% of Apple’s quarterly gross profit dollars
respectively. The two product lines now comprise approximately 70% of total
revenue. The increased contribution from these segments increases the risk for
product cycle driven volatility. For the stock to remain upward biased, we think the
two most important questions are 1) can Apple sustain its significant iPhone
momentum and 2) can the iPad exhibit a similar phenomenon? We think if the
answers to both questions are “yes”, then there is significant upside to the stock.
Alternatively, if the answer is yes to only one of the two, then we think the stock
should still perform well.
The issue comes if both the iPhone 5 and iPad mini are unable to construct a multiquarter adoption period. In such a case, there is increasing risk for greater operating
volatility a couple quarters after launch. If these next two product launches are not
successful on the adoption front, we think that investors could be concerned that
Apple is losing its ability to sustain its technology leadership over the competition.
There are potential offsets to absorb new product cyclicality, though, in the form of
more concentrated efforts in mobile payments, social media, and television. In our
view, these new opportunities could help Apple to restore its ability to absorb new
product cyclicality. We detail these potential opportunities, as well as Apple’s
ongoing smartphone and tablet growth potential in greater detail later in this report.
Do not be alarmed by any near-term selling pressure in the stock
In recent years, the lead-up to a major product launch has resulted in shares of Apple
appreciating only to trade flat or down in the days immediately following the launch
(see Table 7). Following the potential iPhone 5 and iPad mini launches, we
recommend that investors take advantage of any near-term selling pressure. As the
below table illustrates, in the 30 days following a major launch, Apple’s stock has
more than recovered from any post-launch trading pressure.

Unprecedented break-out in the stock has been driven by the iPhone
It is no secret that a resolute focus on both innovation and design has helped Apple
cement its leadership in offering user-friendly, content-driven device experiences. A
critical driver to Apple’s success has been the company's focus on owning the
hardware and software platforms. Plus, Apple steadily has become tightly integrated
with the supply chain, due to 1) its above-market growth attributes and 2) strategic
investments in the capital equipment footprints of key suppliers. All of these factors
have combined to propel Apple’s growth trajectory above its end markets.
Key growth drivers include 1) Apple’s low market penetration rates in smartphones
and tablets, 2) a lower-priced iPad, 3) Apple’s role in enabling the burgeoning social
media/networking adoption curve, 4) potential entry into mobile payments, and 5)
potential TV market entry down the road. In total, we believe that these drivers can
sustain the relative outperformance of Apple’s operating model and stock, as
illustrated in the below figure (Figure 1).
It is important to note that the unprecedented break-out in Apple’s stock price has
been driven primarily by the iPhone’s success in both revenue and profit
contribution. Apple’s stock is up 443% since the release of iPhone 2G version on
June 29, 2007, versus the S&P 500’s decline of 5%. As shown below, other
significant events include the introduction of the iPad on April 3, 2010 and the
anticipation of, and the official announcement of the dividend and buyback program
on March 19, 2012.

As illustrated in Figure 2 below, the success of the iPhone, and to a lesser extent the
iPad, have made the Mac and iPod less significant contributors to Apple’s model.
Since the introduction of iPhone in Apple’s third fiscal quarter of 2007, the segment
has grown to over 60% of total gross profit dollars, based on our estimates. In
addition, the iPad has risen to over 20% of gross profit contribution since its
introduction in the third fiscal quarter of 2010, based on our estimates. The
unprecedented growth of these two product offerings has benefitted the overall
model, but the mix shift towards these two product lines, as a percentage of total
revenue and profits, has also increased the risk of higher operating volatility.
As the iPod and Mac business lines continue to fade as major contributors to the
overall revenue and profit profile, the Apple model of tomorrow has a higher risk of
reverting to its early 2000’s profile. Here, product cycle operating volatility was the
norm. If the next two product launches (iPhone 5 and iPad mini) are not successful
on the adoption front, we think that investors could be concerned that Apple is losing
its ability to sustain its technology leadership over the competition. There are
potential offsets, though, in the form of potential entry into mobile payments and
television, as well as more concentrated efforts in social media/networking.

As shown in Figure 3 below, Apple’s revenue contribution by product mix tells a
similar story. Since the beginning of fiscal 2012, the iPhone and iPad have
contributed approximately 50% and 20% of revenue, respectively. Meanwhile, the
iPod and Mac have each decreased to less than approximately 15% of revenue
contribution respectively.

We continue to expect a September product announcement related to the new iPhone
5, followed by volume ramp in the last 10 days of the month. Previously, we had
expected volume ramp to being in the month of October. In addition, we expect an
iPad mini product to be released this fall, with sales volume beginning in early
October.
If the iPhone 5 is indeed a game changer, as is widely expected, we think that the
device can solidify the iPhone’s revenue contribution at greater than 50% of total
within the Apple model. Interestingly, this same dynamic occurred in 2006 with the
iPod. Soon thereafter, Apple followed with the introduction of the iPhone, a product
release which entered Apple into an entirely new product vertical of smartphones. In
our view, the likely permanency of the iPhone at greater than 50% of revenue could
signal another major product segment introduction is around the corner. We believe
such a release would be an effort to mitigate product cycle driven volatility and to
drive future revenue growth in the model.

Sector Implications
We believe that our total smartphone estimates already account for an iPhone driven
volume ramp in H2’12. We are currently forecasting 24% H/H growth in smartphone
shipments in H2’12 (28% H/H in H2’11). We see limited impact on the overall
handset market from the possible launch of a new iPhone, due to its small market
share (just 6% in Q2’12). We are already forecasting sequential growth of 3% and
9% in the overall handset market in Q3 and Q4, respectively.
Supply of Qualcomm’s 28nm chips is generally viewed as one of the key risks to
high-end smartphone industry growth in H2’12. However, in our 28nm chip
supply/demand analysis published on 8 June we concluded that Qualcomm should be
able to meet 28nm chip demand from Apple up to about 40m iPhone 5 units. At
present our Apple analyst, Mark Moskowitz, estimates that iPhone 5 shipments are
likely to be around 25m units in the December quarter – well below QCOM’s ability
to supply 9x15 modem chips. This means that there is plenty of room for upside to
QCOM shipments should the iPhone 5 outpace current market sales expectations.
Reminiscent of two years ago we believe there is some possibility that numerous new
iPhone 5s could pressure existing LTE signaling networks creating some additional
spend for companies like Ericsson.
Stock implications
Potential Winners
Qualcomm is the most exposed stock in our coverage to the new iPhone. We are
currently forecasting 23m Q/Q MSM unit growth in the December quarter for the
company. Ericsson might also have an outside chance of benefitting from signaling
overload in the LTE network.
Potential Losers
We believe NOK is the most negatively exposed name in our coverage to the new
iPhone. NOK plans to launch its new Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 phones in almost
the same time frame as the iPhone 5. RIM is also potentially exposed in early 2013
as they roll out their new BB10 devices/platform.

iPhone 5 with iOS 6 to raise the bar in platform battle
We view the upcoming iPhone 5 release as a positive for the Internet space as it
continues to drive smartphone adoption – contributing to incremental overall Internet
usage and time spent – and greater eCommerce spending and search advertising. The
iPhone 5 is expected to ship with the new iOS 6, which we believe will provide
deeper integration with some online sites such as Facebook, Yelp, and OpenTable,
among others. Overall we believe the upcoming iPhone 5 and iOS 6 builds greater
functionality into the operating system and therefore raises the bar in the platform
battle with Google, Amazon, and other large Internet companies.
Stock Implications
Google (OW):
Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS are currently the two leading smartphone
platforms. According to Gartner, Google’s Android is the current leader in
smartphone penetration, with 64.1% share of smartphones in 2Q12 compared to
18.8% for Apple’s iOS. While there are several 4G Android devices in the
market, if the iPhone 5 were to be released with 4G/LTE capabilities, we believe
it is likely to help Apple continue to increase its market share as consumers'
appetite for data continues to increase. According to Cisco, the average
smartphone usage nearly tripled in 2011 to 150MB per month from 55MB in 2010,
and is forecasted to reach 2.6.GB by 2016.
Apple announced it plans to replace Google’s Maps with an internally developed
maps product and no longer provide YouTube as a default apps beginning with the
launch of iOS 6. We think mobile usage of Google Maps – along with related
advertising revenue – is likely to be negatively impacted with the rollout of iOS 6 as
we think a significant portion of Google Maps users on mobile are on Apple devices.
We note that Google Maps will be available for download in the Apple App Store. In
contrast, we believe Google may have new monetization capabilities with YouTube
as a standalone app in the Apple App Store, which gives it the flexibility to be free of
restrictions that may be imposed on default installed apps. As a result, we believe
Google is likely to redesign the YouTube app and find ways to monetize it on iOS
devices, such as through pre-roll video ads. Though Apple’s moves away from
certain Google products have raised concerns with the possibility of changing its
default mobile search provider, we do not think this is likely to happen at this
time as we view Google to provide the best mobile search experience.
Facebook (OW):
At the WWDC 2012 in June, Apple announced a deep integration between iOS 6 and
Facebook. We expect this integration to be a significant driver of user
engagement as it lowers the barrier for iPhone and iPad users to post, update,
and check information on Facebook. Signing into Facebook accounts directly in
Apple iOS 6 allows for seamless content sharing from any interface on the iPhone
and iPad. While this may not drive direct revenue, we view any driver of

increased engagement and content to be beneficial to Facebook’s user
engagement, which in turn should result in incremental advertising dollars. We
also note that Facebook launched an update to its iOS mobile apps (both
iPhone/iPad) on August 24. We believe completely re-writing the app from the
ground up to focus on speed is consistent with the company's focus on the user
experience.
eBay (OW):
Apple announced the launch of Passbook in iOS 6, an application that enables users
to easily store and access digital passes including boarding passes, tickets, store
cards, and coupons. We believe Passbook resembles a bar code-enabled form of an
early digital wallet. And even though Passbook does not appear to enable
transactions upon release, we believe it could become the basis for a digital
payments platform going forward. Apple has more than 400M active iTunes
accounts with credit cards and we believe Passbook could become more competitive
with eBay’s PayPal and other payments systems over time.

Sector Implications
Strong demand forecasts for the expected iPhone 5 roll out this month should benefit
Apple levered analog names in our universe that we believe include Analog Devices,
Fairchild, and Avago. We believe most of the analog suppliers have low single digit
dollar content exposure to iPhone 5 and have implied the levering to the product roll
out in the September guidance commentary. On the other hand, we believe that a
strong iPhone and iPad upgrade cycle is a likely negative for PC names such as Intel
and AMD due to cannibalization of PC demand.
Stock Implications
Analog Devices. We believe ADI’s exposure to iPhone 5 is in the low single digits
dollars per iPhone, roughly in the $1.00-$2.00 range for the MEMS microphone and
possibly a controller. The company has a strong historical relationship with Apple,
as it is an existing supplier for the MEMS digital microphone and a touch screen
controller in the iPad2. In addition, ADI commented on the most recent earnings call
that consumer segment should see solid growth in FQ4 due to specific product cycles
which believe implies leverage to the iPhone 5 launch. Assuming a quarterly run rate
of roughly 20M iPhone 5 units over the next few quarters, this would equate into
roughly $20.0-$40.0 million/quarter in revenues or roughly 3%-5% of ADI’s total
revenues. We estimate Apple overall could contribute mid single digits of ADI’s
revenues once iPhone 5 is fully ramped.
Fairchild. We believe Fairchild’s exposure to iPhone 5 is roughly in the $0.50 range
for the battery charger components that include a MOSFET and the controller.
Management commented on the most recent earnings call that mobile products were
below expectations in 2Q due to 28nm chipset shortages in the industry but should
drive solid growth in 2H12 which believe implies leverage to the iPhone 5 launch.
Assuming a quarterly run rate of roughly 20M iPhone 5 units over the next few
quarters, this would equate into roughly $10.0-$15.0 million/quarter in revenues or
roughly 3-4% of Fairchild’s total revenues. We estimate Apple overall could
contribute mid single digits of Fairchild’s revenues once iPhone 5 is fully ramped.
Avago. We believe Avago’s exposure to iPhone 5 is roughly in the $2.00-$3.00
range for the FBAR PA Duplexer. Avago already supplies FBAR duplexers for the
CDMA version of iPhone4 and the iPhone 4S. Management commented on the
recent earnings calls that mobile and wireless segment was below expectations in
July due to 28nm chipset shortages talked about by Qualcomm but the shortages
should ease in 2H12 and drive solid growth afterwards. We believe these comments
imply leverage to the iPhone 5 launch. The company guided the mobile & wireless
segment to grow 20-30% in October while other segments remain flattish on a whole.
Assuming a quarterly run rate of roughly 20M iPhone 5 units over the next few
quarters, this would equate into roughly $40.0-$60.0 million/quarter in revenues or
roughly 8-10% of Avago’s total revenues. We estimate Apple overall could
contribute close to 20% of Avago’s revenues once iPhone 5 is fully ramped.

Intel/AMD. We believe the strong growth of the iPad and iPhone coupled with the
slowdown in PC shipments is a negative for Intel and AMD as neither company has
any meaningful share in tablets or smartphones. We believe tablets and smartphones
continue to cannibalize PC shipments, driven by the success of the iPad/iPhone and
proliferation of low-cost Android-based devices. We note tablet shipments have
grown from only 7% of notebook shipments from in 2Q10 to roughly 51% of
notebook shipments during 3Q12E.

Given the expected enthusiastic reception of the new iPhone 5, we believe its launch
will likely spur another strong product cycle for our Apple-exposed companies
Broadcom and Peregrine Semiconductor. Both companies are already major
suppliers of chip solutions into the current generation iPhone 4S and iPad 3 and we
believe that they have been designed into the iPhone 5 as well.

BRCM: Apple is Broadcom’s #1 customer, accounting for ~13-15% of total
revenues, with BRCM silicon (wireless connectivity, Ethernet controllers, touch
controllers, media processors, etc) utilized in most Apple products (iPhone, iPad,
MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Apple TV, etc). We believe the breadth of
Broadcom’s silicon in Apple products reflects the strength of the relationship
between the two companies. Apple’s iPhone and iPad products use Broadcom’s
combo connectivity (WiFi, Bluetooth, FM) single-chip solution and touch screen
controllers. The current iPhone 4S uses Broadcom’s BCM4330 combo connectivity
chip solution and we believe the iPhone 5 will utilize Broadcom’s next generation
combo chip called the BCM4334. The iPad 3 also uses the BCM4330 combo chip
and two additional chips for the touch screen controller. We believe that the next
generation iPad 4 will use the BCM4334 or BCM4335 combo connectivity chips.
We estimate about $3.00 of Broadcom content per iPhone and ~$3.75 per iPad. We
remain Overweight on BRCM.
PSMI: We estimate that Apple is Peregrine Semiconductor’s largest end-customer
and will account for ~30-35% of PSMI's total revenues this year. PSMI is the sole
provider of RF antenna switches in the current iPhone 4S and we believe that one or
more of its antenna switch chips have been designed into the iPhone 5 and the
upcoming iPad 4. Peregrine’s antenna switch chips are also designed into the
Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note as well. We believe that PSMI will continue
to be the RF antenna switch supplier of choice for Apple going forward due to the
performance (linearity, isolation, insertion loss), form-factor, and cost advantages of
Peregrine’s silicon-on-sapphire solution. We estimate that PSMI units shipped into
Apple will increase 182% in C2012 and 20% in C2013. We remain Overweight on
PSMI.

Sector Implications

Strong iPhone volume growth in next two quarters should help Greater China
Apple supply chain stocks. iPhone is typically higher margin product for most
Apple supply chain vendors. However, we see most Apple supply chain names
as trading Buys into the product launch since long-term earnings growth is
affected by continuous margin erosion as Apple puts more pressure on the
supply chain and tries to diversify supplier base.

With two previous generations of iPhone owners to target (4 and 4S),
replacement demand is likely to remain quite strong in the first few months due
to new industrial design and adoption of LTE, but sustainability of demand after
the first 2 quarters would be interesting to watch, given that there are no major
new carrier additions unlike iPhone 4S launch.

Stock implications

Design change beneficiaries typically derive the most benefit from new iPhone
launches in the supply chain. In the iPhone 5, we believe the key winners from
iPhone 5 design change should be (1) Hon Hai group / Fanuc due to move to
metal Unibody casings, (2) LGD / Sharp (once yield issues are overcome) due to
use of in-cell touch panels, (3) Murata due to move to LTE (higher number of
MLCCs and increased demand for RF front end modules, (4) Samsung for
Application processors, (5) TSMC (and potentially UMC) for LTE baseband
chips at 28nm.

Of these stocks, Hon Hai is our preferred pick, given iPhone margins are
typically much higher for Hon Hai compared to other Apple products. We
estimate iPhone to account for 35% of Hon Hai’s revenues in 4Q12 and hence
expect a meaningful pickup in OP margins in 3Q12 (up 60 bps).

Update on supply issues.
1.
Display: In-cell yield bottlenecks have improved at LG Display in August
and the company appears hopeful of achieving optimum yields exiting
3Q12. Sharp’s situation however, appears to be uncertain. However, if
Japan display continues to ship and LGD improves the yields as expected by
the end of 3Q12, then the threat of a supply disruption in 4Q12 is likely to
be lower. Initial builds in 3Q12 however are still below plan, so initial
volumes available may be constrained post launch.
2.
Casings: Casing supply is improving since Hon Hai appears to have excess
supply of CNC machines. While Jabil Green point yields are still lower than
optimum, we feel that this may not be a key bottleneck for the supply chain
in 4Q12.

Sector Implications
We expect strong demand and expectation toward iPhone 5 launch should benefit
key Apple supply chain names in our universe which we believe include LG Display
(In-cell panels), Samsung Electronics (AP, mDRAM), LG Innotek (Camera module),
and SEMCO (MLCC). However, as Apple diversifies its key component supply
(NAND Flash and mDRAM) into non-Korean suppliers, magnitude of benefit from
iPhone 5 launch to Samsung Electronics and SEMCO shall be smaller given
increasing internal component consumption on back of strong Samsung smartphone
momentum. On the other hand, we believe that high-levered Apple supply names like
LG Display and LG Innotek should benefit more given relatively higher earnings
exposure to iPhone demand.
Stock Implications
Samsung Electronics
We estimate Samsung’s exposure to Apple is in the high-single digit % of total
revenue. The company traditionally had strong relationship, but has gradually
lowered its supply portion of semiconductor component since 2011 as Apple
diversifies into multiple vendor and Samsung drops off less profitable business.
However, we find increasing internal component consumption to offset decline in
Apple supply. On the other hand, we view Samsung’s smartphone shipment to be
relatively stable after iPhone 5 launch and expect new flagship smartphones (i.e.
Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II) to sustain its strong momentum.
LG Display
We believe in-cell panel will provide meaningful opportunity for LGD. As the
company begins to ship in-cell display for iPhone 5 from August, we forecast its
sales momentum to return in 3Q12 and begin to accelerate in 4Q12. We estimate
total iPhone panel supply to meaningfully contribute to its total OP by 35% in 2012E
while sales contribution is 6%. Given the poor execution by Sharp, we believe LGD
can cement its position in Apple’s various products. Of note, LGD will do an all Incell process including lamination, which is a clearly differentiating factor.
LG Innotek
We view LG Innotek to be the key beneficiary among Korea downstream players
given its stable camera module supply to Apple as a top vendor with market share
~60%. As majority of shipments are skewed towards 4Q not only iPhone 5 but iPad
mini as well, we view traditional weak seasonality for 4Q will not be the case for
LGI this time. While we do not expect meaningful upside in ASP as products
supplied towards iPhone 5 and iPad mini remains the similar specification with
existing products, volume growth should suggest uptick in margin into 4Q.

Stock implications
We expect particularly strong benefits for high-frequency components. We expect
the new iPhone to support LTE and therefore have 50% more FDD bands than the
existing model. Combined with volume growth for the phone itself, we expect this to
drive substantial growth in volume for high-frequency components and in sales for
Murata Mfg., Taiyo Yuden, TDK, the three Japanese passive component makers
involved in high-frequency parts including duplexers and band-pass filters. The fact
that there are few Asian competitors in these areas suggests that Japanese companies
could readily benefit from market expansion.
We think passive component makers could also benefit from the shift toward higher
added value in mainstay MLCCs. Improving smartphone performance requires that
capacitors have greater capacitance than previously while also being more compact
to ensure sufficient space for the phone’s battery. We expect capacitance to increase
to 0.22F from 0.1F for 0402-size MLCCs, to 2.2F from 1.0F for 0603-size, and
to 22F from 10F for 1005-size.

Sector Implications
iPhone 5: Good for One, Not So Good for Others
In the context of our Applied Tech coverage universe, one stock stands to benefit
from imminent Apple product introductions, including the iPhone 5 launch:
Omnivision. In contrast, the introduction of native mapping and TBT navigation on
iOS 6 on the iPhone 5 stands to be a mild negative for TeleNav (TNAV/N),
TeleCommunication Systems (TSYS/OW), and Garmin (GRMN/UW).
Stock Implications
The Good … Omnivision (OVTI/OW) should benefit from Apple’s product
introductions this fall. With the introduction of second generation back-side
illumination (BSI) the firm is restored to a leadership position at the high end (58MPx, HD Video, small form-factor) of the CIS market, as an alternative supplier to
Sony. Revenues are ramping dramatically (up ~70% in October quarter, we estimate)
to record levels and the firm is building BSI product to inventory in advance of one
or more Tier 1 OEM product launches (Apple iPad mini and iPhone 5 we believe).
Based on the firm’s incumbent role as a supplier of CIS chips for the iPad and frontfacing camera on the iPhone 4s, we believe OVTI is well positioned with Apple,
however it remains unclear whether OVTI has the prestigious back-facing slot on the
iPhone 5; which is hotly contested by Sony, we believe.
From an investment perspective, controversy centers largely on gross margins, which
have fallen to a record low 19% on the BSI-2 revenue ramp, however we believe this
is the trough now; a combination of scale and unit-based amortization of fixed cost
investment at wafer supplier TSMC should yield improving margins in the January
quarter, and gradual improvement towards 25% in CY13. We rate OVTI Overweight
and have a price target of $23.00 based on 13 times CY14 EPS. If OVTI is confirmed
in tear-down reports as winning the back-facing camera slot on the iPhone 5 (sole- or
dual-sourced), then the multiple could expand further.
The Not So Good … Apple is introducing turn-by-turn (TBT) navigation and
mapping as native (and free) applications on the iPhone 5, displacing Google, and
adding to the disruption already taking place in the personal navigation device
(PND), navigation application and location-based service (LBS) markets. Apple’s
voice-based search, via Siri, and real-time navigation integrated with iOS, presents a
threat to incumbents in the SatNav/PND market (e.g. Garmin, Magellan, and
TomTom’s hardware business) as well as fee-earning network-hosted smartphone
solutions from companies like TeleNav and Networks in Motion
(TeleCommunication Systems).
Apple has stated that it is in discussions with major automobile OEMs regarding
integration of this handset-based solution into the car cockpit (leveraging
infotainment consoles or in-car audio systems), which sounds like a tangential –
though not immediate – threat for OEM suppliers like Garmin, TomTom, Delphi,
Harman and Bosch that currently supply infotainment solutions to the auto industry.

Sector Implications
iPhone 5 Could Drive Higher Upgrades And Lower Margin
Near-term, we expect the iPhone 5 to drive higher than expected upgrades in 3Q12
and 4Q12. We recently raised our upgrade rate for Verizon to 8.0% from 6.8%,
AT&T to 8.0% from 6.3% and Sprint to 10.0% from 9.0%. In all we now expect
9.2m iPhone sales in 3Q12, up from 7.3m previously (when we had expected a 4Q
versus late 3Q launch) and 7.5m in 2Q12. We estimate 12.8m iPhone unit sales in
4Q12 versus the 13.1m estimate for 4Q11, when the iPhone 4S was launched. The
higher upgrade rates pressures margins for the wireless carriers and we expect more
downside risk to margins in 3Q and 4Q as iPhone 5 sales ramp.
Long-term, we expect the iPhone 5 to accelerate the already begun upgrade cycle to
4G (LTE) for the US wireless carriers from handset bases dominated by 3G handsets
today. Verizon is the largest US carrier with LTE at 230m covered pops, followed by
AT&T at ~80m and Sprint only covers a few markets. We believe Verizon and the
other carriers are eager to migrate customers from loaded 3G networks to 4G
networks to take advantage of relatively empty networks as well as lower cost and
more data efficient LTE.
Stock Implications
Verizon leads in LTE coverage and we expect aggressive migration push with
the iPhone 5
Verizon has about 40m smartphones in its subscriber base but only about 8m (20%)
are LTE. We believe the iPhone could help Verizon aggressively migrate subscribers
to the LTE network. Recently, we increased our estimate of iPhone sales at VZ from
2.9m to 3.6m. In addition, we increased our 3Q upgrade rate to 8.0% from 6.8%
previously, and 7.0% in 2Q to account for iPhone 5 demand as well as potentially a
lower entry price for the iPhone 4. Our wireless margin estimate fell to 48.0% from
50.0%.
Our estimates could be higher or lower depending actual launch date, supply of
iPhones and ability for customers to upgrade, though note that no Verizon iPhone
customer will have passed their 20 month upgrade date in September, so we expect
3Q iPhone 5 sales at Verizon to be dominated by non-smartphone customers
upgrading and new customers, rather than upgrading iPhone customers like we
expect to see at AT&T.
AT&T lags Verizon in coverage, but is rapidly building to catch up, we expect
AT&T to sell 25.4m smartphones in 2012
AT&T lags in LTE coverage, but we expect the company to push its HSPA+ network
(which registers as 4G on the iPhone 4S) to compete with Verizon’s marketing. We
estimate 4.5m iPhone activations and 4.0m sales at AT&T from 3.4m and 3.1m
previously. We increased our upgrade rate to 8.0% from 6.3% previously. Our 3Q
wireless margin estimate fell to 41.5% from 45.0%. We model 2012 smartphone unit
sales for AT&T of 25.4m from 24.9m previously. As previously mentioned, our
28
Global Equity Research
11 September 2012
Mark Moskowitz
(1-415) 315-6704
mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com
estimates could be higher or lower depending actual launch date, supply of iPhones
and ability for customers to upgrade.
Sprint could benefit from the iPhone 5, despite a limited LTE network
We would also not be surprised to see the iPhone 4 fall from $99 to $0 at a full
subsidy for Sprint as the carrier uses price and unlimited data as marketing tools
against AT&T and Verizon. The first 10 days of iPhone 5 sales in 3Q is expected to
pull forward a significant amount of sales (we estimate Sprint sold 400-500k iPhones
in first 10 days after 2011 launch) from 4Q. As such, we raise our 3Q iPhone units to
1.76m from 1.34m vs. 1.5m in 2Q12 and 1.8m in 4Q11. We now model 1.98m in
4Q12. In part due to higher upgrades driven by the iPhone 5, we lowered our
wireless EBITDA estimate to $897m from $1.059b and margins to 12.2% from
14.5% for 3Q12.

Sector Implications
It is yet unclear how disruptive the iPhone 5 will be in European markets, mainly
because it is not yet known whether it will support European LTE frequencies. In any
case we don’t think it will be as disruptive as in the US
 The iPhone accounts for only about half of the proportion of smartphones sold in
Europe compared to the US
 European markets have not displayed extreme margin seasonality in recent years
 European LTE deployments are much less advanced than in the US. Only the
Scandinavian markets and Germany have seen substantial LTE at this stage
J.P. Morgan Securities plc
 Unlike in the US where T-Mobile is the big exception, most operators support the
iPhone
iPhone only accounts for up to
20% of European smartphone
sales
The iPhone accounts for only about half of the proportion of smartphones sold in
Europe compared to the US. According to ComTech data, in the quarter leading up to
June 2012 iOS accounted for 37% of smartphones sold in the US, but only 26% in
the UK, 20% in Italy, 17% in Germany, 15% in France, and 3% in Spain.
Margin seasonality not much in
evidence
European markets have not displayed extreme seasonality in the past. The following
chart shows fairly steady subscriber acquisition costs per quarter, with a slight
downward trend in recent years for some DT subsidiaries.

Swisscom runs about 3 times as many iPhones on its network as a typical European
incumbent. It does show about 3-4pp SAC-driven EBITDA seasonality in the fourth
quarter, as per the following chart. However, this seasonality seems very regular and
predictable.

European LTE much less
advanced than in the US
European markets are seeing comparatively slow LTE deployments. As we described
in our report 'The Fourth Generation of Mobile - US mobile data monetization will
remain superior' on 16 March 2012 we believe most European operators are readying
their networks for LTE through 5 year RAN replacement programs, starting in 2015,
only Scandinavian markets (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark), Germany and
Portugal have so far seen substantial deployments, although other markets are
beginning to step up the pace. This will limit the near term impact of a LTE version
of the iPhone, even it were to work on European LTE frequencies.
Unlike in the US where T-Mobile has been the big exception, most operators support
the iPhone (however not all operators subsidize the handset). The most important
operators with a less well developed iPhone proposition are KPN’s E-Plus in
Germany and Free Mobile in France. Otherwise any differential impact would mostly
depend on whether the new iPhone supports LTE, and in which frequencies.
Stock Implications
We believe either 800MHz and/or 1800MHz would be most probable, since these
frequencies are closest to the current US LTE frequencies.
In general an iPhone on European frequencies could lead to a slight acceleration in
investments, as incumbents/spectrum holders seek to gain an at least temporary
advantage by combining the iPhone's appeal with a better LTE footprint
 In the UK only Everything Everywhere is rolling out LTE, in 1800MHz.
800MHz has not yet been allocated (same in the Netherlands and Austria)
 In Germany, all operators excluding E-Plus would benefit. While E-Plus has
plenty of 1800MHz spectrum, its LTE deployments are well behind its peers
 In France Free Mobile has neither 800 nor 1800MHz, but the iPhone segment is
not its strongest anyway, in our view, due to the lack of subsidization
 Italy and Spain are moving quite slowly on LTE deployments at this stage, but
Italy is the bigger iPhone market and could see some acceleration

 Scandinavia has the best LTE coverage but most of the networks are built out in
2.6GHz. All players have access to 800MHz. TDC already said it would
accelerate its LTE buildout in the coming two years
 Swisscom is well ahead in its LTE plans, compared to its domestic competition,
and could leverage a LTE version. All Swiss carriers have access to 800MHz and
1800MHz spectrum
Indirect impact through US
exposure
In the US a strong iPhone 5 would be even worse news for T-Mobile, only somewhat
tempered by the carrier’s ability to support legacy AT&T iPhones on HSPA+ in its
newly refarmed spectrum. Conversely, Vodafone should benefit from any benefits
Verizon Wireless will gain from the new iPhone.
Swisscom and Vodafone seem
best positioned for the 'strong
iPhone' theme
In summary, a strong iPhone which would also work in European LTE spectrum
would initially tend to favor European incumbents and Vodafone.
 For Deutsche Telekom European gains are likely to be mitigated by US pain.
 KPN domestic benefits are offset by a negative read for its German subsidiary.
 Telefonica’s exposure seems the smallest of the major incumbents
(comparatively lower significance for the UK and Spain).
 Swisscom should be a clear beneficiary, due to the incumbents’ aggressive
commercial approach and network leadership, as well as the country’s strong
affinity to the iPhone.

Asian Telecom Services
Competitive Driver in Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong; Key Question Is China
James R. SullivanAC
(65) 6882-2374
james.r.sullivan@jpmorgan.com
J.P. Morgan Securities Singapore Private
Limited
Sector Implications
Korea and Japan are among the most advanced LTE markets in the world, as such
we expect the impact to be similar to the U.S., i.e. a faster upgrade cycle and lower
margins in the near term. While iPhone market share in Korea is relatively low at
approximately 10%, the hypercompetitive nature of that market could drive handset
subsidies higher than market expectations.
Singapore and Hong Kong have launched LTE services more recently, but show
significantly higher iPhone market share then either Korea or Japan. iPhone 5 could
lead to significant margin compression in both of these markets, in our view.
China remains a key question. To the degree that iPhone 5 enables utilization of
China Mobile’s TDS-CDMA network, this could result in a very significant increase
in competition for high end subscribers. This would be negative for both Unicom and
China Telecom, although Unicom would feel the brunt given higher bottom line
exposure to wireless.
Developing Asia is relatively shielded from any impact given very low levels of
iPhone penetration. Android based handsets at the USD150-250 price points are far
more likely to drive demand in these markets.
iPhone market share relatively
low ex HK/Singapore/Japan
Asian markets have relatively low iPhone penetration rates versus other geographies,
largely due to a lack of local content and low affordability. Markets with significant
levels of penetration include Hong Kong, Singapore, and to a lesser degree Japan
(approximately 30%). We note that the Asian market with the most advanced LTE
network rollout, Korea still shows iPhone penetration only around 10% as local
champion Samsung still leads the market.
Incremental launches an open
question in Japan and China
It remains an open question whether NTT DoCoMo and China Mobile will launch
the iPhone 5, this remains an important question in both markets. Both of these
dominant carriers have lost share due to the lack of iPhone in their handset line-up.
In Japan, DoCoMo has been a net MNP loser for some time, this trend accelerated
once they became the only player in Japan missing the iPhone post KDDI’s launch in
November 2010. DCM’s smartphone ratio is currently on 19% vs. 25% for KDDI,
and 30% for Softbank. There remains little clarity regarding DoCoMo’s plans re
iPhone 5, a launch would be positive for DCM and potentially negative for KDDI
and Softbank.
In China, a CMHK iPhone 5 launch would be positive only if the new iPhone
allowed utilization of China Mobile’s TDS-CDMA network. If this is the case this
would a) alleviate network congestion on CMHK’s 2G network, b) likely allow some
incremental subscriber market share gain at the expense of Unicom / Telecom, c)
reduce the importance of LTE license timing.

Sector Implications
Looking at the software technology sector, there are 3 primary companies that could
see some benefits from the iPhone 5 upgrade cycle. Synchronoss (SNCR / Choi)
benefits directly from the iPhone 5 upgrade cycle as they do phone activations and
back up and restore data technology at AT&T and Verizon respectively. Converse
technology (CMVT) is the provider of a large number of visual voicemail systems at
carriers that support the iPhone, and Amdocs could see some benefit from any
system modernization or new services rolled out at its carrier customers. For CMVT
and DOX, we believe the benefit will come over time and will not likely be
immediately felt at the time of launch.
Stock implications
Synchronoss (SNCR): A direct play on iPhone 5
The iPhone 5 launch is a direct catalyst for SNCR stock. Recall, SNCR gets paid on
a transaction basis for activating phones for AT&T online and back up and restores
technology for Verizon. With every iPhone phone launch, SNCR has benefits from
the incremental phone volumes and we expect the same to occur again. In addition,
any time there are increased phone sales, this bodes well for backup and restore
relationships at Verizon. Typically SNCR takes estimates from the carriers and
embeds that into their guidance and we believe there can be upside to these numbers.
Verizon and AT&T earnings reports (which are typically a few weeks before
SNCR’s earnings date) and their commentary on iPhone 5 numbers relative to
expectations will be key data points to track over the next six months.
Comverse Technology (CMVT) should benefit from increasing visual voicemail
adoption
Outside of AT&T a large number of the other carriers that offer the iPhone like
Verizon and TMN utilize CMVT for their visual voicemail solutions. Increased
number of iPhone users could drive capacity expansion purchases over the coming
year. In addition, any new carrier picking up the iPhone could bring the potential for
additional visual voice mail wins for CMVT given what we perceive to be a market
leading position.
Amdocs (DOX) benefit may be slower to come
In the case of Amdocs, we see the benefit coming as carrier customers look to
modernize their billings systems or roll out additional services that are tailored to
handsets like the iPhone 5 and its LTE capabilities. Spending in North America for
DOX has been under pressure this year and we think 4G network spending needs to
get further along before carriers turn their attention to the systems Amdocs touches.
But we still believe they could get some benefit from iPhone 5 as we move forward.

the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if
applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy
reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a
recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected total return is
compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it does not appear
in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgan’s research
website, www.morganmarkets.com.
