One prediction market prices this story:

  • Before October — resolved “No” on 1 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Apple releases the iPhone 18 to the public before October 1, 2026. It resolves to No if that release does not happen by that date. Readers often mistake the linked news headline for the resolution event, but only an official public release counts.

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.
