Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) CEO Tim Cook is going to go on stage on Oct. 4 and
finally, after nearly a year of anticipation, announce the iPhone 5 . He also
likely will announce the iPhone 4S , a smaller, cheaper version of the current
best-selling model of smartphone sold by the Cupertino, Calif.-based company.

to celebrate as their lust for the latest and greatest device finally will be
sated. And Apple shareholders have already seen the stock hit an all-time high
in September. The iPhone 5 should push shares even closer to that vaunted $500

(NYSE: VZ ), AT&T (NYSE: T ) and even Sprint (NYSE: S ), while retailers like
Best Buy (NYSE: BBY ), Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) and Target (NYSE: TGT ) bask in the
glow of fresh sales. But these aren't the only publicly traded companies that

expect a boom when the iPhone 5 hits shelves:
