Apple (AAPL) will report its fourth quarter earnings after the bell Monday, providing investors with a glimpse of early iPhone 18 Pro sales. The iPhone Duo went up for preorder on Oct. 16 and went on sale Oct. 23, missing Apple's fiscal Q4, though the company could still offer color on demand. This will also be Apple's first earnings call with new CEO John Ternus, who took over the role from Tim Cook on Sept. 1. For the quarter, Apple is expected to report earnings per share (EPS) of $2 on revenue of $113.46 billion, according to Bloomberg analyst consensus estimates. The company saw EPS of $1.85 and revenue of $102.46 billion in the same period last year.Apple CEO John Ternus speaks during an announcement of new products on Sept.
