Probability
70%

Anchor: Apple Q4 FY2024 (Jul–Sep 2024) posted $94.93B. Reaching $98B in Q4 FY2026 requires only ~1.6% annualized cumulative growth over two years. Growth drivers: (1) iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max launch September 2026 (base model delayed to Spring 2027, per MacRumors/Stuff.tv); (2) Services continue double-digit growth (Q4 FY2024: $24.97B, +12% YoY), expected to reach ~$31–33B by Q4 FY2026; (3) Mac and iPad upgrade cycles provide support. Risk: base-model delay dampens hardware revenue vs. full-line launch quarters. Analyst consensus aggregate implies ~$98–102B. No Polymarket market available.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Apple Q4 FY2024 Earnings Release: Gesamtumsatz 94,93 Mrd. USD, Services 24,97 Mrd. USD (+12 % YoY) (31.10.2024)
  • MacRumors / Stuff.tv: iPhone 18 Basismodell erst Frühjahr 2027; iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max ab Sept. 2026 (Sept. 2026)
  • Bloomberg Analyst-Konsensus-Aggregat Q4 FY2026: ca. 98–102 Mrd. USD (Stand Sept. 2026)
  • Apple Services-Wachstumstrend FY2022–FY2024: Ø +13 % YoY p.a.; extrapoliert auf Q4 FY2026

Google publicly unveils Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro at a Made by Google hardware event in October 2026 (confirmed by Google press release or The Verge by October 31, 2026)

Google has consistently followed an annual October cadence for Pixel flagship announcements since 2016 (Pixel 1–9 all in October, with minor exceptions for mid-range models). Hardware leaks for the Pixel 10 generation were documented from spring 2026 onward (Tensor G5 chip, revised camera architecture). No public signal of a delay to November or later exists as of September 18, 2026. Base probability from launch cadence: ~91%; ~3% haircut for unforeseen supply-chain or event-format changes yields 88%. No existing prediction market covers a Google hardware event in October 2026.

Qualcomm announces both Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro for smartphones at Snapdragon Summit 2026 (Maui HI, September 22, 2026, confirmed by Qualcomm press release or The Verge by September 24, 2026)

Qualcomm has officially confirmed Snapdragon Summit 2026 (September 22–24, Maui HI) and announced both mobile SoCs via its X account. Both chips (SM8950/SM8975) are built on TSMC's 2nm process. The Gen 6 Pro is expected to reach 5 GHz Oryon CPU clock speed for the first time and support LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage. The dual flagship strategy has been officially confirmed multiple times since August 2026. This prediction is distinct from the existing Cassandra open prediction about Snapdragon X chips for Windows Copilot+ PCs — it covers a completely separate mobile SoC product line.

Meta publicly unveils the Artemis AR glasses (true augmented-reality glasses with holographic display, successor to the Orion prototype) at Meta Connect 2026 (September 23, 2026, Menlo Park CA, confirmed by Meta press release, Road to VR or The Verge by September 24, 2026)

Multiple consistent sources (VR.org, Tom's Guide, Upload VR, Road to VR) report that Meta will present Artemis — its first consumer-ready true AR glasses with holographic display — at Connect 2026. Artemis is sleeker than the Orion prototype (2024) but with a narrower field of view. No Quest 4 expected (planned for H2 2027). The September 23 keynote focuses on 'VR, wearables, metaverse, and AI.' This prediction is distinct from the existing Cassandra open predictions: (a) 'new AI Smart Glasses as Ray-Ban Meta successor' (no AR display) and (b) 'new/updated VR headset of the Quest line' (Artemis is not a VR headset). Uncertainty: Meta could treat Artemis as a pure tease without a formal product announcement.
