Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty has released an in-depth report in which she tells investors to buy Apple shares ahead of what appears to be a big fall.

Huberty says the "this cycle is different" for Apple. The company is expected to unveil two new iPhone 6 models and possibly a wearable device. Out of the ordinary preparations for the press event seem to corroborate these reports.

Other arguments for Apple stock include a lower share of institutional ownership, increased cash return to shareholders, new executives, numerous acquisitions, stabilized gross margin, and booming online services.
