"The bets [investors] will take on stocks are -- is somebody going to gain share or should they get out of a stock if they think they're going to lose share in future devices," Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley said. "What creates some confusion is that, based on where companies are in the supply chain, they recognize revenue at different dates."

Although no release date is officially set for the iPhone 5, recent invitations sent out by Apple to an event in San Francisco on Sept. 12 have hinted to be the launch for the new-generation iPhone. The company is also widely rumored to be working on a smaller version of their popular iPad tablet.
