As an Apple follower and investor, I have always enjoyed following Apple's latest rumors to find out what products they will be releasing in the upcoming months, in order to see if Apple's innovative culture is still there and if the company is heading in the right direction.

In recent months, there have been a lot of rumors about Apple's new product releases in 2014 as well as its deal with China Mobile, the largest telecommunication company in China with over 740 million subscribers. Many of these rumors are quite accurate as they are often from sources (e.g. Foxxconn) in China, where Apple products are manufactured.

Based on our analysis and the latest product rumors that we think are most probable, we believe that Apple's business (revenues and net profits) will perform well in 2014 because the company has a great product pipeline for 2014 and is negotiating with China Mobile to start selling iPhones on its network.

The first factor that we believe will improve Apple's profitability for 2014 is the release of a bigger screen iPhone (AKA iPhone 6). According to Reuters, the iPhone 6 will feature a screen size of 4.7 to 5.7 inches. We believe that this will be a great strategic move and the next logical step for Apple as it fights to gain more market share from Android phone makers, such as Samsung, that are known to making smart phones with larger screens-e.g. Samsung S4 (5.0 inches), Note 3 (5.7 inches), HTC One (5.0 inches) and Nexus 5 (5.0 inches).

The second factor is the iWatch that is expected to be released in the second half of 2014. The device is expected to work as an accessory to the iPhone and iPad with biometrics, sensors and other functions. According to a Bloomberg article, Apple already has a team of about 100 product designers working on a wristwatch-like device that performs some of the iPhone and iPad functions. We believe that the iWatch has the potential to be a game changer and will likely be a great product that will set the industry standard for smart-watches. It will give Apple an extra stream of revenues, even if it does not become a game changer.

The third factor that we think will greatly improve Apple's profitability for 2014 is its deal with China Mobile. According to Reuters, Apple is still negotiating with China Mobile to offer iPhones on its network. iOS beta activate
