Apple's Q4 2015 conference call with the press and investors reporting on the company's financial results has been scheduled for October 27 at 2:00 PM PT or 5:00 PM ET.

During the conference call, Apple is expected to announce the total profit and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015, as well as the number of iPhone, iPads, iPods, Macs, Apple TVs and Apple Watch units sold in the last three months.

For the third quarter of 2015, Apple reported a record 33% revenue increase, growing from $37.4 billion revenue in the second quarter to $49.6 billion in the third.

Apple are also expected to keep up the trend and match or possibly go over the estimations for the fourth quarter, with a possible all-time record in revenue given the huge demand for the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.

In the press release following the Q3 2015 financial results conference call, Apple estimated that during their fourth quarter they will achieve a revenue between $49 and $51 billion, with a gross margin between 38.5 to 39.5 percent.

These would be associated with operating expenses of $5.85 to $5.95 billion, and various income or expenses of over $400 million.

A 33% increase in revenue similar to the one achieved on Q3 2015 would result in a $65.9 billion revenue for Q4

If Apple were to match the increase in revenue of the third quarter, they should be reporting a revenue of $65.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2015, way above the estimated revenue after the Q3 2015 conference call.

You can listen to the conference call's streaming audio via Apple's Events website, on any device compatible with their HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) technology.

Streaming the audio conference requires an iPhone, an iPad, or an iPod touch with Safari on iOS 7.0 or later, a Mac with Safari 6.0.5 or later on OS X v10.8.5 or later, or a PC with Edge on Windows 10.
