One prediction market prices this story:

  • Will Apple release a touchscreen MacBook in 2026? — resolved “Yes” on 6 Nov 2026. Apple must make a MacBook with a true touchscreen available for public purchase by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. An announcement or an iMac does not count as a qualifying release. Readers often mistake the resolution deadline or assume that any Apple device with touch capability satisfies the condition.
