The earnings report will provide a look at early iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus sales. Apple this morning announced launch weekend sales of 13 million for the two devices, outpacing iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sales during launch weekend in 2014.

For the third quarter of 2015, Apple reported earnings of $10.7 billion on $49.6 billion revenue, selling 47.5 million iPhones, 10.9 million iPads, and 4.8 million Macs. Apple's guidance for the fourth quarter includes expected revenue of $49 to $51 billion and gross margin between 38.5 and 39.5 percent.

MacRumors will provide coverage of both the earnings report and conference call on October 27.

Unless they announce Apple Car, the stock will go down.

APPL is the most unfairly treated company on Wall Street. I wish they went private somehow.

16gb base storage, 1gb of ram until now, only 5gb icloud storage for free, iPhone 5c, etc... These are all because of the constant pressure from investors for better margins.

Everyone who bought AAPL and held on to it is a lottery winner. Plus they get a decent dividend (I know someone who is getting more from AAPL dividends than what they originally invested every three months). What else do they want?

Wall Street does not deserve AAPL.

Here's to hoping the Apple watch is still doing excellently—and not anything more specific.

While these number might sound staggering compare it to the market cap(650B). They need huge numbers to drive the stock up. This obviously wasn't good enough with the condition of the market. The Nasdaq was down 3% and apple was only down ~2% don't see how that is unfair.
