3 prediction markets price this story:

• Will Apple release a touchscreen MacBook in 2026? — the market puts it at 96%, with $8k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. 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.
• below $650 — the market puts it at 27%, with $81 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 25 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the lowest-priced MacBook model on Apple.com is below $650 at the specific time of November 27th, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake any temporary discount or price drop for the final resolution condition.
• Will Apple be the second-largest company in the world by market cap on October 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 81%, with $562 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Nov 2026. Apple must hold the second-highest market capitalization among all global companies at the moment the stock market closes on October 31, 2026. The final ranking depends on a consensus of credible financial reporting regarding that specific date's closing values.
