Predicted for 9. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
MacRumors reported on 27 August 2026 that six products are confirmed for the September event, including the iPhone Ultra with a 5.5" outer and 7.8" inner display. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo confirmed mass production since Q2 2026; Mark Gurman (Bloomberg) pinned the launch to H2 2026. The foldable iPhone would be the first form-factor change to the iPhone lineup since 2007. Existing open predictions cover the iPhone 18 Pro (A20 Pro chip, aperture ring), Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods Pro 3 – the iPhone Ultra is a separate new product. No direct prediction market; analyst consensus supports approximately 82% probability.
Data basis for this prediction
- MacRumors: Apple-Event 9. September 2026 – 6 Produkte angekündigt, darunter iPhone Ultra Foldable (27. August 2026)
- Ming-Chi Kuo: Faltbares iPhone in Massenproduktion seit Q2 2026 (Substack, August 2026)
- Bloomberg/Mark Gurman: iPhone Ultra Foldable Launch H2 2026 bestätigt
Verdict: Miss
[Vorzeitig entschieden] Apple stellte zwar ein faltbares iPhone vor, aber unter dem Namen 'iPhone Duo' (nicht 'iPhone Ultra'). Der Produktname ist falsch. Bestätigt durch Bloomberg, Tom's Guide, Gizmodo Live Blog.

PLTR closed at $175.40 on November 4, 2026 (after-hours: $170.88, -2.58%; intraday high: $176.54; 52-week high: $212.94). Palantir clearly beat Q3-FY2026 EPS consensus: total revenue $2.313B, US Commercial revenue +148% YoY to $984M. The $185 threshold is +5.5% above the closing price or +8.3% above after-hours levels. Typical post-earnings 'sell the news' may weigh short-term, but the 52-week high of $212.94 confirms the level is reachable. NVIDIA earnings on November 18, 2026 could serve as a sector-wide catalyst. No direct Polymarket equivalent; own estimate: ~42%.

CBRS trades at $109.18 (October 30, 2026) — already 61% below its all-time high of $279.72. The final and largest lockup expiration is scheduled for November 10, 2026: approximately 19.4 million shares are unlocked (of three tranches of 19.4M each). Prior lockup tranches have consistently weighed on the stock. Insiders have sold ~$394.6M in shares since the May 2026 IPO — zero insider purchases. A Culper Research short-seller report has triggered multiple investigations. A close below $100 requires a ~8.4% decline — plausible given the expected supply pressure on expiration day.

ARM Holdings reports Q2 FY2027 (July–September 2026) on November 4 after market close. EPS consensus: $0.47; revenue consensus ~$1.38B (Theta Research, Oct 29). ARM is the dominant CPU IP licensor for AI servers (Neoverse), smartphones (Apple A-series, Qualcomm), and edge devices — all three segments scaling strongly in 2026. ARM has beaten EPS consensus in each of the last four quarters, driven by AI infrastructure capex. No direct Polymarket contract; analogue: S&P 500 Q3 2026 beat rate ~71%. Key risks: export control escalation (UK/US vs. China), hyperscaler capex delays, or HBM4 demand plateau.
