AAPL Earnings Call on October 31: Insights into Early Sales of iPhone 16

The AAPL earnings call for Q4 2024 is scheduled for October 31, providing insights into early iPhone 16 sales. The quarter spans July to September, with pre-orders starting on September 13 and in-store availability on September 20.

Apple will not disclose unit sales or distinguish pre-launch from post-launch revenue, but we can expect general popularity indicators for the iPhone 16.

Apple anticipates company revenue growth year-over-year similar to the 4.87% rate of the June quarter, suggesting a moderate contribution from iPhone 16 sales.

CFO Luca Maestri noted that comparisons with last year are complicated by product launches. Apple expects consistent growth in Services revenue, projecting double-digit growth.
