The wait for the next iPhone may not be as long as feared. 

Despite rumors the so-called iPhone 8 may be delayed until October or later, Apple released its earnings report and provided a rosy revenue forecast for the current quarter. That bit of financial wonkiness suggests Apple expects at least some new iPhone to perk up sales. 

Whether it's the iPhone 8 or the rumored iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus remains to be seen. 

We also break down more of Apple's results and how the iPad made a surprising return to year-over-year growth following 13 straight quarters of declines. 

The 3:59 gives you bite-size news and analysis about the top stories of the day, brought to you by the CNET News team in New York and producer Bryan VanGelder.
