Piper Jaffray tech analyst Michael Olson, getting a jump on Apple's launch next Thursday of new iPhone models, published a research note Friday morning saying that its latest survey of iPhone users found demand for new models is likely to be stronger than expected. Olson raised his target price for Apple's stock to $250 a share, about 12 percent higher than it was trading before the market opened Friday. Apple shares were up about a half-percent in early trading Friday. Apple climbed 38 percent in the year since the last iPhone launch.
