Did you hear that iPhone 4S, the device that was dismissed as meh by many of our media brethren saw pre-bookings of a million devices on day one? That is not only good news for Apple, but also for its partners, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, which is betting it all on the iPhone. But they are not the only ones cashing in on the iPhone 4S bonanza. Folks from UBS Research put together a list of companies that it believes are “potential key suppliers” for the iPhone 4S.
There are the usual suspects – Samsung, ARM Holdings, Qualcomm and Broadcom. But there are some lesser-known names like Largan Precision and Genius Electronic Optical that could be camera lens providers for the new phone. On the software and Internet side of things, Nuance is a likely winner and so are Wolfram Alpha and Yelp, two key data providers to Siri, a showcase technology in the new device.
Any more thoughts on winners, let us know.
