If Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is still a growth stock, it’s going to have to prove it next month.

April 26
Samsung’s flashy rollout for the Galaxy S4 on Thursday night doesn’t mean the hottest brand in Android-fueled smartphones will hit the market right away. Samsung is pointing to April 26 as a release date in the U.K., and similar availability in late April is expected closer to home.

There will be hype for the device that outmuscles the iPhone 5 on several fronts. No one expects Apple’s next iPhone to hit the market any earlier than the middle of this year, so the pressure will be on for Apple to beef up its marketing expenditures to extol the virtues of its device as larger and flashier S4 handsets enter the wild.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) already went on the offensive on the eve of the Galaxy S4 event. It can’t afford to take a breather now that the stock is starting to gain some initial traces of momentum.
