John Ternus Hosting His First Earnings Call as Apple CEO Today

John Ternus will participate in his first Apple earnings call as the company's CEO today. The call begins at 2 p.m. Pacific Time / 5 p.m. Eastern Time.

Ternus and Apple's CFO Kevan Parekh will discuss the company's earnings results for the third quarter of the 2026 calendar year on the live-streamed conference call. While the call is primarily intended for Apple shareholders and Wall Street analysts, anyone can listen live for free on Apple's Investor Relations website, with no registration required.

The call should last around one hour. Ternus and Parekh will read their prepared remarks, and then they will take questions from analysts.

Apple released the following products in the quarter, which ran from June 28 to September 26:

iPhone Duo was announced during the quarter, but pre-orders did not begin until October 16, so the quarter does not include any revenue from that device.

If you miss the call, a recording will be available for replay on the page later in the day.

Apple CEO Ternus Says iPhone Duo Shortages Have No End Date in Sight

Think it will be a good quarter for Apple. No base iPhone 18 this year, however overall numbers should still be good.

No one likes price increases, but I wouldn't say they're getting "ridiculous"... adjusted by inflation, the base iPhone Pro model is cheaper than 7 years ago. The base iPad Pro is around $100 more expensive than 7 years go, and the base MacBook Pro (with "M Pro" chip) is around $50 more expensive than 5 years ago (when the first AS Mac launched).
