Apple is very dependent on iPhone sales. In fiscal year 2014, 56% of the company's $182.8 billion in revenues -- $102 billion -- came from iPhone sales. The iPad came in a distant second, bringing 17% of revenues. Mac products, the company's oldest segment, was responsible for 13% of the top line. A new product line will join the others with this quarter's report, the Apple Watch.

Investors are paying close attention to Apple's cash hoard. In its last reported quarter, Apple had $194 billion in cash and equivalents plus investments. To put that in perspective, only 15 companies in the S&P 500 (^GSPC) -- including Apple -- have a market cap larger than Apple's coffers.
