3 prediction markets price 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.
Will Apple be the largest company in the world by market cap on November 30, 2026? — the market puts it at 71%, with $6k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Dec 2026. Apple must hold the highest global market capitalization at the end of trading on November 30, 2026, for the Yes outcome to trigger. The No outcome applies if any other company holds that top spot at that specific time. Readers often mistake current news about sales or temporary price changes for the final resolution data.
Will Apple be the second-largest company in the world by market cap on December 31? — the market puts it at 32%, with $833 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. Apple must hold the second-highest market capitalization among all global companies at the exact moment the stock market closes on December 31, 2026. Readers often mistake the date of the linked news story for the resolution deadline or assume any temporary ranking change counts toward the final result.

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.
