Fiscal 4Q 2013 Final Estimates

As of Friday's close of $525.96 AAPL is trading at 10.0 times my forward EPS estimate (7.4x ex-cash). Thanks to the new phones' successful launch and pricing confirming Apple's winning strategy, I'm finally able to revise numbers upwards. Potential guidance for the current quarter (Q1 FY 2014) looks very promising compared to WS consensus.
