2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Apple release a foldable iPhone by October 31? — resolved “Yes” on 23 Oct 2026. For the outcome to be Yes, Apple must make a foldable smartphone available for public purchase by October 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. An announcement or unveiling alone does not count; the device must be purchasable by the general public within that timeframe. Readers often mistakenly believe that an official announcement is sufficient, but the product must actually be available for purchase.
  • Fold / Folding / Foldable — resolved “Yes” on 3 Nov 2026. The outcome is Yes if any Apple representative mentions Fold, Folding, or Foldable during the upcoming earnings call and Q&A session. The outcome is No if these terms are not mentioned by an Apple representative in that specific setting. Readers often mistake general rumors or reports from other sources for official statements made during the call.

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.
