Trick or Treat? Apple's First Earnings Call Since iPhone 16 Launch Scheduled for Halloween

Apple today announced that its next quarterly earnings conference call will be held on Thursday, October 31 at 2 p.m. Pacific Time/5 p.m. Eastern Time.

On the call, Apple's CEO Tim Cook and CFO Luca Maestri will discuss the company's earnings results for the fourth quarter of its 2024 fiscal year. It will likely be Maestri's final earnings call at Apple, as he will be succeeded by Kevan Parekh on January 1, 2025. Maestri will continue to lead the Corporate Services teams at Apple.

The call will be streamed live on Apple's website, and it should run approximately 60 minutes.

Apple released these products in the quarter, which ran from June 30 through September 28:

  • HomePod mini (Midnight)
  • iPhone 16
  • iPhone 16 Plus
  • iPhone 16 Pro
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max
  • Apple Watch Series 10
  • Apple Watch Ultra 2 (Black)
  • AirPods 4
  • AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation
  • AirPods Max (USB-C)
  • Various accessories, including a 25W MagSafe Charger

Will Apple's earnings results be a trick or a treat? On its last earnings call in August, Apple said it expected its fourth quarter revenue to grow at a rate similar to its third quarter, which would mean around 5% growth on a year-over-year basis. Apple reported $89.5 billion revenue in the year-ago quarter, so a 5% increase to that would equal around $94 billion, which would be a fourth-quarter record for Apple. Sounds like a treat.

Wednesday October 21, 2026 1:38 am PDT by

It's going to be bad. That's why Tim Apple cashed in his cheques. He knows Apple is doomed because of him. 😂

Isn’t Apple’s FY run Jan-Dec? Seems weird for Luca to not deliver the Q4 call at the end of Jan 2025 and formally wrap up the year considering he was CFO during the entirety of Q4 and of the entire FY24.
Apple's FY starts/ends in September, and has so for as long as I can personally remember.

Never seen so many iPhone pros in stock all over California since launch day so I don’t see how they could be selling well. Last year there wasn’t ONE available of any color or configuration until a couple weeks into October.

Their iPhone sales in China are doing horrible.

That’s more of a reason to hang onto to my 12 pro max until something promising shows up.

I doubt it, 0 demand and stock a plenty all over the world. Vision Pro failed, billions lost to the car project during Tim's tenire...Tim needs to depart and make way for a visionary.
I'd be curious to know what you base your claim of "0 demand" on?

iPhone 16 may not be all that interesting for 14 and 15 owners, but the vast majority of iPhone upgraders are updating from phones 3-5 years old and they will see remarkable improvement from their devices.

Same with corporate buyers.

If Apple was really in danger of missing their targets, they would have let the market know by now.

More interesting than current sales is their future guidance anyway.
