Apple has filed five documents with the SEC since September 1, 2026, according to its EDGAR filing history: one Form 8-K/A, one Form 3, and three Form 4s. All five relate to the leadership transition that took effect that day. No new operating 8-K, and no proxy material of any kind, has followed.
EDGAR is the SEC’s public database of company filings, and it is the most direct record of what a company has disclosed and when. For Apple, whose CIK number on EDGAR is 0000320193, the September record is short and entirely about governance rather than products or financial results.

The one amendment, briefly
The 8-K/A amends an original Form 8-K from April 20, 2026, adding compensation figures the April filing left out: a $3 million salary for Ternus, a $2 million salary for Cook effective September 26, 2026, and equity award targets of $55 million and $45 million respectively for fiscal 2027. It is the only filing this month that is not an insider transaction report.

The insider filings, briefly
The remaining four filings are Section 16 reports covering two people: Ternus’s opening stock position and new grant, filed the day he joined the board, and two scheduled stock sales by general counsel Jennifer Newstead under a trading plan she adopted in May. No other Apple officer or director has filed a Form 4 with the SEC since September 1, 2026.
What has not been filed
Apple’s last DEF 14A proxy statement was filed January 8, 2026, ahead of its annual meeting of shareholders on February 24, 2026. Nothing in the DEF 14A, DEFA14A, or PRE 14A categories has followed since. Apple’s last operating 8-K, covering quarterly results under Items 2.02 and 9.01, was filed July 30, 2026, alongside its third fiscal quarter numbers. Apple’s investor relations pages do not list a date for the company’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call, and this month’s filings do not set one either.
Apple’s fiscal year, per its own EDGAR company record, ends September 26. Its 10-K annual report for fiscal 2026 would follow that year-end on the same general pattern Apple has used in recent years, arriving several weeks later alongside the fourth-quarter results. Apple has not filed that 10-K, has not filed a fourth-quarter 8-K, and has not set a date for either as of this weekend.
Reading EDGAR directly, rather than a summary
Every figure in this article comes from Apple’s own filings on EDGAR, the SEC’s public filing system, rather than from a summary or a news release describing them. A CIK number, in this case 0000320193, is the SEC’s permanent identifier for a filer; searching it directly on EDGAR returns the same list of forms, dates, and accession numbers used to build the table above, and it is the fastest way to check whether anything has changed since this article published.
What Apple has not said
- A date for the fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call.
- Any new proxy material since the January 8, 2026 DEF 14A.
- Any additional officer or director changes beyond the three named in the September 1 filings.
Today is Sunday, September 13, 2026. The next filing to watch for is Apple’s fourth-quarter earnings 8-K, which past years suggest arrives in late October, though Apple has not confirmed a date.
