Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Global Technology 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.

Morgan Securities (Far East) Ltd, Seoul Branch 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. Gokul Hariharan 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. Hannes Wittig AC (852) 2800-8564 gokul.hariharan@jpmorgan.com 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). Table 1: J.P.

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. 4 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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.

Morgan estimates. Smartphone and handset market estimates courtesy of J.P. Morgan analyst Rod Hall. 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. 5 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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. Table 3: Smartphone vs. Handset and PC Penetration Rates by Region Asia/Pacific Smartphone penetration Handset penetration PC penetration C2009 2% 37% 9% C2010 3% 43% 11% C2011 6% 49% 12% C2012 9% 54% 14% C2013 12% 57% 16% C2014 16% 58% 19% Eastern Europe Smartphone penetration Handset penetration PC penetration 3% 94% 22% 5% 99% 24% 8% 101% 27% 13% 101% 30% 20% 102% 35% 27% 102% 40% Latin America Smartphone penetration Handset penetration PC penetration 2% 67% 20% 4% 71% 22% 8% 76% 26% 13% 78% 30% 18% 79% 35% 22% 80% 40% Middle East & Africa Smartphone penetration Handset penetration PC penetration 2% 36% 4% 2% 40% 5% 4% 45% 5% 5% 47% 6% 7% 49% 7% 10% 50% 9% North America Smartphone penetration Handset penetration PC penetration 23% 109% 92% 33% 113% 98% 46% 115% 103% 62% 114% 106% 77% 114% 110% 88% 113% 112% Western Europe Smartphone penetration Handset penetration PC penetration 18% 126% 62% 32% 128% 68% 44% 130% 72% 60% 131% 76% 77% 131% 80% 90% 131% 83% Japan Smartphone penetration Handset penetration PC penetration 26% 86% 60% 24% 91% 62% 31% 97% 65% 43% 102% 67% 52% 107% 68% 56% 110% 69% Worldwide Smartphone penetration Handset penetration PC penetration 4% 53% 18% 7% 58% 20% 10% 62% 22% 15% 66% 24% 20% 68% 26% 24% 68% 29% Source: Gartner and J.P. Morgan estimates. 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 6 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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.

Morgan estimates. 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 7 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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. 8 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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 9 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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. 10 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 U.S. IT Hardware iPhone 5 to Sustain Apple’s Above-Peer Growth Potential; Handset/PC Makers to Be Hurt Mark Moskowitz AC (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Anthony Luscri (1-415) 315-6702 anthony.s.luscri@jpmorgan.com Mike Kim (1-415) 315-6755 mike.j.kim@jpmorgan.com J.P. Morgan Securities LLC 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. Table 6: Apple – J.P. Morgan New vs. Old iPhone Estimates (as of September 5) Units in 000s NEW iPhone estimates OLD iPhone estimates C2012E Sep-Q Dec-Q Mar-Q C2013E Jun-Q Sep-Q Dec-Q 24,206 22,775 43,582 37,841 39,922 34,625 46,597 44,229 45,023 39,377 39,323 35,525 Source: J.P. Morgan estimates. 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. 11 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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. 12 Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Table 7: Apple Stock Price Performance Pre and Post Product Announcements Trading performance based on % return Announcement Date Original iPad iPhone 4 Verizon iPhone announcement iPad 2 iPhone 4S iPad 3 iPhone 5 * 1/27/2010 6/7/2010 1/11/2011 3/2/2011 10/4/2011 3/7/2012 TBD Stock Price Performance Post Announcement 7 Days 30 Days Stock Price Pre-Announcement 30 Days $207.88 $250.94 $341.64 $352.12 $372.50 $530.69 $662.74 (1.8%) 6.4% 6.2% 3.8% (0.4%) 14.4% 9.2% (4.2%) 1.3% (0.3%) 0.1% 7.5% 11.1% (1.6%) 3.1% 3.8% (2.1%) 8.2% 19.9% 5.4% 2.6% 5.2% Average: Source: Bloomberg and company reports. * Stock price is as of September 10, 2012. Stock price performance is since August 1, 2012. 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. 13 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Figure 1: Apple Stock Price versus Major Product Introductions $800 iPad 3G $700 iPad WiFi iPod Touch $600 iPhone 2G $500 Apple TV $400 iPod iPhone 3G and App Store MacBook Air $300 $200 iPad 4G iTunes MacBook $100 MacBook Pro $0 Source: Capital IQ, J.P. Morgan, Company data. 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. 14 Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Figure 2: Apple - Gross Profit Contribution by Product Gross profit as a % of total, fiscal quarters 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% iPod and Peripherals 50% Mac iPad 40% iPhone 30% 20% 10% 2Q12 4Q11 2Q11 4Q10 2Q10 4Q09 2Q09 4Q08 2Q08 4Q07 2Q07 4Q06 2Q06 4Q05 2Q05 4Q04 2Q04 4Q03 2Q03 4Q02 2Q02 4Q01 2Q01 0% Source: Company reports and J.P. Morgan estimates. 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. 15 Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Figure 3: Apple - Revenue Contribution by Product Revenue contribution as a % of total, fiscal quarters 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% iPod and Peripherals 50% Mac iPad 40% iPhone 30% 20% 10% 2Q12 4Q11 2Q11 4Q10 2Q10 4Q09 2Q09 4Q08 2Q08 4Q07 2Q07 4Q06 2Q06 4Q05 2Q05 4Q04 2Q04 4Q03 2Q03 4Q02 2Q02 4Q01 2Q01 0% Source: Company reports and J.P. Morgan estimates. 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. 16 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Communications Equipment & Data Networking Estimates Already Account for iPhone Driven Volume Ramp Rod Hall, CFAAC (1-415) 315-6713 rod.b.hall@jpmorgan.com J.P.

Morgan Securities LLC Rajat Gupta (91-22) 6157-3347 rajat.gupta@jpmchase.com J.P. Morgan India Private Limited 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. 17 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Internet iPhone 5 to Drive Incremental Mobile Usage, and Also Increase Competition for Internets Douglas Anmuth AC (1-212) 622-6571 douglas.anmuth@jpmorgan.com Kaizad Gotla, CFA (1-212) 622-6436 kaizad.gotla@jpmorgan.com Bo Nam (1-212) 622-5032 bo.nam@jpmorgan.com Shelby Taffer (1-212) 622-6518 shelby.x.taffer@jpmorgan.com J.P. Morgan Securities LLC Sector Implications 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 18 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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. 19 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 U.S. Semiconductors iPhone 5 Likely to Benefit Select Analog Companies.

Morgan Securities LLC 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. 20 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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. 21 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 U.S. SMid Semiconductors iPhone 5 Represents Another Strong Product Cycle for BRCM and PSMI Harlan Sur AC (1-415) 315-6700 harlan.sur@jpmorgan.com Sector Implications Saqib Jalil 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. (1-415) 315-6761 saqib.jalil@jpmorgan.com Stock implications John S Ahn (1-415) 315-6758 john.s.ahn@jpmorgan.com J.P. Morgan Securities LLC 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. 22 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Asia Technology Hardware iPhone Implications Gokul Hariharan AC (852) 2800-8564 gokul.hariharan@jpmorgan.com J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited 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. Alvin Kwock AC (852) 2800-8533 alvin.yl.kwock@jpmorgan.com J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited Ashish Gupta (91-22) 6157-3284 ashish.b.gupta@jpmorgan.com J.P. Morgan India Private Limited 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. 23 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Asia Semiconductors iPhone 5 Likely to Benefit Select Analog Companies.

Morgan Securities (Taiwan) Limited Rahul Chadha (91-22) 6157-3261 rahul.z.chadha@jpmorgan.com J.P. Morgan India Private Limited 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. 24 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Asia Electronic Components Sector Expecting 50% Increase in High-frequency Components Masashi Itaya AC (81-3) 6736-8603 masashi.itaya@jpmorgan.com JPMorgan Securities Japan Co., Ltd. Sector Implications We see upcoming smartphone models as key to any recovery in Japanese electronic component makers’ profits. In particular, we expect the new iPhone to feature a multimode, multiband design along with a thinner form factor for the first time in two years. We also expect increasing app performance to drive increased functionality that could offer business opportunities to electronic component makers (Figure 4).

Morgan, Company data. 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 0.22F from 0.1F for 0402-size MLCCs, to 2.2F from 1.0F for 0603-size, and to 22F from 10F for 1005-size. Potential Winners Taiyo Yuden (6976), Murata Mfg.

Morgan Securities LLC 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. 27 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 U.S. Telecom Services iPhone 5 and Lower Priced 4S/4 Could Drive Higher 3Q Upgrade Rates and Lower Margins Philip Cusick, CFA AC (1-212) 622-1444 philip.cusick@jpmorgan.com Richard Choe (1-212) 622-6708 richard.choe@jpmorgan.com Derya Erdemli, CFA (1-212) 622-8529 derya.erdemli@jpmorgan.com Eric Pan, CFA (1-212) 622-5623 eric.pan@jpmorgan.com J.P. Morgan Securities LLC 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 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.

Morgan estimates, Company data. 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 32 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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. 33 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 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. 34 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Software Technology Benefitting from Activations and Systems Improvements Sterling Auty, CFA AC (1-212) 622-6389 Sterling.auty@jpmorgan.com Lauren Choi (1-212) 622-6102 Lauren.choi@jpmorgan.com Saket Kalia, CFA (1-212) 622-6477 Saket.kalia@jpmorgan.com J.P. Morgan Securities LLC 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. 35 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark.a.moskowitz@jpmorgan.com Global Equity Research 11 September 2012 Companies Recommended in This Report (all prices in this report as of market close on 10 September 2012, unless otherwise indicated) AT&T (T/$37.42/Overweight), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD/$3.47/Neutral), Amdocs (DOX/$32.83/Neutral), Analog Devices (ADI/$40.07/Overweight), Apple Inc.
