Apple 4Q17 Earnings Expectation Meters
Breaking Down Apple's iPhone X Review Strategy

We begin today's email with my 4Q17 Apple earnings expectation meters.

By using the expectation meters in conjunction with the earnings preview found in Monday's email (available here), we will be all ready for tomorrow's earnings.

We take a closer look at when review units were handed out and to which publications in an effort to connect the dots to see Apple's logic and motivation.
