    Will they go ahead and announce the new apostle or wait until conference?

    A new member of the Twelve may not have been called yet. But if one has, I’m sure they’ll announce it also.

    From this page:

    it looks like the new Apostle called when President Hinckley became President was Elder Eyring (!) and that he wasn’t sustained until the April General Conference. I believe the First Presidency was reorganized that March so they may well wait until GC. Or they may not.
