    The next iPhone (AAPL) could single-handedly account for 4.4% of the chip industry's 2013 sales, says RBC's Doug Freedman, who estimates 171.7M units will be sold next year. Among the expected beneficiaries: Qualcomm (QCOM), whom Freedman thinks will obtain $18 per iPhone shipment; Broadcom (BRCM), expected to get $6.50/iPhone; and SanDisk (SNDK), expected to get $9.50/iPhone if its NAND flash chips are used (previous).

    SNDK is 10% of my holdings. I guessed that SNDK WAS THE PLAY, based upon Tim Cook's comments in Apple's April earnings call. I hope that I am correct. In two days, we will know.

    The price level for NANDflash memory from SNDK seems a bit low, based upon research by Nomura.

    BRCM and QCOM component estimates are close to Nomura research figures, though slightly lower. I would guess that large orders, like from AAPL, would get discounts, though I don't think any company would give a 50% discount on components.
