Apple Inc. shares surged by almost half last year on predictions that Apple’s 10th anniversary iPhone would be a runaway hit.

Bernstein, which ratcheted back estimates for the number sold by Apple in recent months. The suspense ends Feb 1, when Apple reports fiscal first-quarter results and provides forecasts for the current quarter.
