Did he only include his prediction with the announced numbers?
In general, if you do not want to release your numbers early, you can just tweet a signature or HMAC or even just a SHA-256 digest of your summarized predictions (in plaintext).
An interesting counterpoint is that the stock is down ~5% in after hours trading on weak Q1 guidance. Apple’s guidance is always pretty conservative though, and the market hasn’t gotten used to it.

The market isn't always very intelligent - these are absolutely incredible numbers IMO

The market is reacting to the announcement that Apple will no longer break out unit sales. Analysts hate having less information, and (rightfully, IMO) see it as a sign that sales growth is over.

*unit sales growth
Interested to see Asymco's take. He was super close on the vast majority of his predictions for this quarter according to his Twitter account (https://twitter.com/asymco).
Q1 looks like it's going to be bananas, especially with iPhone XR, new iPad Pros, new Macs, etc.
