One prediction market prices this story:

  • Will Apple release a new product line before 2027? — the market puts it at 93%, with $4k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. Apple must publicly announce and launch a category of products it has never sold before by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET for the market to resolve to Yes. Updates or iterations of existing lines like iPhones or Macs do not count as new product lines. Readers often mistake the linked story's October date as the deadline, but the actual cutoff is the end of 2026.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
