Apple to Announce 1Q 2013 Earnings on January 23

MacRumors will provide running coverage of the earnings release and conference call.
The release will provide a look into the strength of iPhone 5 and iPad mini sales across their first quarter of widespread availability. Apple reported strong results three months ago with iPhone and iPad sales both up significantly year over year.
The company provided guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 for revenue of $52 billion and earnings per diluted share of $11.75. If it meets that guidance, it would count as the strongest quarter for Apple in history.

(View all)Apple: "Our best quarter ever!"
Analysts and investors: "Apple sucks because they did not live up to our unreachable expectations!"
Random MR poster: "Apple is doomed!"
Next day
Apple continues to print money
To the company that has more money on hand than the US government. :beer: (macrumors should add this emoji)
I have more money on hand then the US government.
I've been on Macrumors for 10 years. Only in the past year and a half has this site become polluted by people like you who only joined Macrumors because they invested in AAPL, not because they actually give a crap about the products.
GO AAPL!!! (sarcasm intended)
Really? From what I see Macrumors is polluted by Apple haters and Android/ Samsung "enthusiasts".
What's the bet the stock will slump after the announcement because it didn't meet people's impossibly high expectations?
Guaranteed.
Should be a good quarter. Stock is already up today. :)
Stock is up because of fiscal cliff news.
Maybe they can help bail out some of the US debt of 16.4 trillion dollars.... Just sayin
They could start by paying their taxes, along with Google, Microsoft etc.
So you're saying anyone who might prefer another brand over Apple and turns the blind eye when Apple might release a product that is inferior to the competition is "polluting?"
So people here are supposed to like Apple no matter what even if there's another company that might have a better product for a certain Apple product?
:rolleyes:
The real question is: If you prefer another brand over Apple, why are you posting on an Apple rumor site? Of course you have the right to be on this site regardless, but I do question your motives if you hate Apple and only post to berate Apple. There are many posters here who do this without exception. I think their motives are at very least questionable. You may like some Apple products and dislike others, this is fine. However, if you only come on Macrumors to trash Apple then I find you pathetic, and possibly even pathological.
