It could be 28 minutes from now or 280 years from now. When the superpowers square off against each other in two camps, then come back and we'll talk apacolpse.
Until then, just think regional conflicts, wars between rump states, proxy wars and brinksmanship. If you recall the Yom Kippur War in 1973, a coalition of Arab States (Egypt, Syria and Jordan) were soundly defeated by the Israelis. That was a worse situation than the current conflict and it didn't raise a blip on the world war radar (not that it didn't have the potential to spark a global war).
The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not. In the first 30 minutes, nearly a billion people will have been vaporised, mostly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. Another 1.5 billion will die shortly thereafter from radiation poisoning. The northern hemisphere will be plunged into prolonged agony and barbarity.
Eventually the nuclear winter will spread to the southern hemisphere and all plant life will die. You ask when is the apacolypse, you are asking when will we commit global suicide. My answer is it won't happen soon because the larger superpowers are more rational than the rump states in the middle east.
Our biggest risk is an accidental launch of nukes by one of the nuclear powers.

The world will end millions of years from now when the sun blows up. Human life may die out long before that if there is some major catastrophe (like a horrible erruption that blocks out the sun or we get hit by an asteroid or blow ourselves up with nukes or something).
No one knows for sure.

Throughout the entire history of the modern world people have been predicting the end of the world.... hasn't happened... if all this evolution is correct, then we should be able to adapt!!!!

some say the world will end in fire;
some say in ice.
from what i've tasted of desire,
i hold with those who favor fire;
but if the world should perish twice,
i think i know enough of hate
to say that for destruction ice
is also great, and would suffice.

When human beings have finally made the planet completly uninhabitable. Soon, in other words.

When the end will come isn't important. What you choose to do until it does, is.
