In a note to clients — as reported by “CNET” — Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty predicts that iPad and iPhone sales will be higher than expected this quarter and into 2013.

She thinks the iPhone 5 will drive more customers to upgrade this quarter and into next year. At the same time, the iPad Mini and iPad 4 will accelerate the growth of total iPad shipments, Huberty adds.

Wall Street expects shipments of 46 million iPhones and 23 million iPads this quarter, followed by 43 million iPhones and 19 million iPads next quarter. But Huberty thinks the numbers will be even higher.
