Despite a less-than-rosy earnings report, Apple avoided heavy fallout by beating some critical Wall Street estimates. These results signal that the upcoming iPhone 7, which likely won't have many new features, may sell better than analysts were predicting.

We also discuss another strong quarter from T-Mobile and another bad quarter from Twitter.

The 3:59 gives you bite-size news and analysis about the top stories of the day, brought to you by CNET Executive Editor Roger Cheng, Senior Writer Ben Fox Rubin and Producer Bryan VanGelder.
