Topeka Capital's Brian White is trimming estimates on Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) into the company fiscal third-quarter 2013 report this week.

White notes that the adjustments reflect demand trends across Apple's portfolio and the timing of new product launches; however, we believe it would be shortsighted for investors to place too much weight on near-term results as we believe a major new product cycle is in the works over the next 12-18 months.

Fiscal Q313 revs are expected to be $35.28 billion with EPS of $7.37. The Street sees revs of $35.09 billion and EPS of $7.31.

Looking to FY13, White moved revs and EPS expectations from $178.52 billion and $41.52 down to $167.28 billion and $38.31. For FY14, revs and EPS went from $218.73 billion and $56.68 to $193.96 billion and $45.09.

The Street sees FY13 EPS of $39.41 and revs of $170.8 billion, while FY14 EPS is at $43.34 on revs of $186.2 billion.

White has Apple at Buy with a price target of $888.
