Earlier this month, Apple adjusted revenue estimates to $84 billion, down from a previously stated range of $89 billion to $93 billion. Shares tanked 10 percent but have since clawed their way back to trade essentially flat for 2019. Its share price Tuesday morning also was little changed.

The company will be disclosing some metrics for the first time, and omitting others when it reports results for the December quarter. Any surprises in the first-of-its-kind report out of Apple could shift the stock, which has seen unusual volatility in recent months.
