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: Mac Mini With M6 and M5 Pro Chips Mac Studio With M5 Max and M5 Ultra Chips New Apple Polishing Cloth iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max Apple Watch Series 12 Apple Watch Ultra 4 AirPods 5 Beats 360 Wrist Strap for iPhone 18 Pro and AirPods Pro 3 New Apple Watch Charging Puck 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 has added more films free for Apple TV subscribers to watch, in what now definitely seems like a regular monthly extra. "Arrival" and "Clueless" are among the free films added for Apple TV subscribers for November. Apple barely promotes this, and the details vary between countries, but it does add movies to Apple TV that it didn't make. Initially it was during COVID when it would get the rights to films related to Apple TV shows or genres. Then in August 2026 , Apple TV added a whole stack of classic films. As with most streamers, these films are licensed for a short period, rather than bought outright as Apple did with "CODA". Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
Apple has started testing iOS 27.2.1, according to the MacRumors visitor logs, which have been a reliable indicator of upcoming iOS versions. iOS 27.2.1 should be a minor update that includes bug fixes and/or security patches, including for the iPhone Duo that launched Friday, October 23. We do not know exactly when the update will be released, but usually upcoming iOS versions begin to show up in our logs a few days to a few weeks before they are made available to the public. There may also be a macOS 27.2.1 update with a fix that prevents macOS command-line tools from accepting eMudhra's compromised web certificates . The certificates have already been blocked in Safari, Mail, and apps that use Apple's networking and security frameworks since October 19, with no software update required for that. In addition, we expect the first iOS 27.3 developer beta to be released tomorrow. In a press release on the Apple Newsroom website in China last week, Apple said the iOS 27.3 beta would be released on Wednesday, November 4 , but that likely means Tuesday, November 3 in the U.S. due to time zone differences. Apple said iOS 27.3 will be released to the public in December, but it did not provide a specific date. iOS 27.3 will enable some Apple Intelligence features in China on the iPhone 15 Pro and newer, such as Writing Tools, Genmoji, Clean Up, Notification Summaries, Priority Notifications, Visual Intelligence, and Live Translation with AirPods. Apple also said it has partnered with Alibaba to add support for its AI assistant Qwen within Siri, Writing Tools, and Visual Intelligence. Siri AI and other Apple Intelligence features announced at WWDC 2026 will not be available in China on iOS 27.3, according to Apple. Image Playground will also not be available in China. Both the iPhone and Siri language will need to be set to English and Chinese (Simplified). Apple Intelligence features will not be available on the Mac, iPad, or other devices in China until Apple receives the necessary approvals, it said.

Apple initially aimed to "wait until November" to release the iPhone Duo in the U.S. and China only, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman , but it ultimately launched the device in more than 70 countries on Friday, October 23. "Apple rushed the Duo to market without enough inventory to meet demand," he said. The device currently has a January 25 delivery estimate and is hard to find in stores.
