By Supantha Mukherjee and Rishika Sadam (Reuters) - "Things don't have to change the world to be important," Apple Inc co-founder Steve Jobs said in an interview in 1996.

"This is really the last (quarter) that anybody is going to care about iPhone until the launch this fall," Cowen & Co analysts wrote in a note.
