3 prediction markets price this story:

• Will Apple release a new product line before 2027? — the market puts it at 40%, 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.
• Before 2027 — the market puts it at 20%, with $54 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Apple announces a MacBook with a built-in cellular modem before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if no such announcement occurs by that date. Readers often mistake the October 13 event in the linked story as the relevant deadline, but only announcements made before the end of 2026 count.
• Before 2027 — the market puts it at 2%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Apple publicly releases the iPhone 18 before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if that specific release does not happen within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a smart home hub for the relevant event, but only the iPhone 18 launch counts.
