Apple News
Apple on Tuesday announced its quarterly earnings call for the first fiscal quarter of 2021 will be held on Jan. 27, offering a detailed breakdown of the important holiday quarter as the coronavirus pandemic rages.
As usual, the financial results for the typically high-revenue period will be published, followed by a conference call featuring CEO Tim Cook and CFO Luca Maestri along with analysts after markets close on that day.
According to an update on the Apple Investor Relations webpage, the conference call is set to occur on Wednesday, January 27, at 2 p.m. Pacific, 5 p.m. Eastern.
The first-quarter results are typically expected to be the largest for Apple, based on historical seasonal trends, and stand to benefit the most from a raft of product launches that occurred in the fall. This will chiefly consist of the release of the iPhone 12 range, including the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Other product releases that may make an impact in the period include the first full quarter of sales for the Apple Watch Series 6, Apple Watch SE, and 2020 iPad. Products released in the quarter range from the iPad Air and iPhone 12 range to the HomePod mini, the M1 Mac mini, the M1 MacBook Air, and M1 13-inch MacBook Pro.
While the AirPods Max launched within the quarter, their release in the closing weeks means it won't make any meaningful dent in revenue.

AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
