$AAPL - APPLE'S FOLDABLE IPHONE MAY SELL OUT FAST • • Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects Apple's first foldable iPhone to see strong demand, with preorders potentially selling out quickly despite a $2,300–$2,500 price tag. • • Limited production could delay the launch until late 2026, with initial shipments of 7–8 million units expected in the second half of the year.

What is this event about?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Apple officially releases a foldable iPhone by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". In order to be considered released, the product must be available for purchase by the general public within the specified timeframe. An announcement or unveiling alone is not sufficient. A qualifying release of a foldable smartphone by Apple will count even if it is not explicitly branded an iPhone. The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from Apple. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
