Partial Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 24. August 2026 · Predicted for 9. September 2026 · Based on: Speculative

Probability

68%

Multiple reliable leakers (Ming-Chi Kuo, Mark Gurman) and tech media (Tom's Guide, Geeky Gadgets, Techgenyz, as of August 2026) consistently confirm Apple will announce a book-style foldable iPhone at its fall 2026 event – marketed as 'iPhone Ultra.' Expected specs: 5.4 cm cover display, 7.8-inch inner screen (4:3), A20 chip, Touch ID, price above $2,000. The prediction targets the announcement, not the sales launch. Manifold Markets estimates ~70%, Metaculus ~68% for an Apple foldable announcement in 2026.

Data basis for this prediction

Tom's Guide: 'All new products expected at Apple September 2026 Event – iPhone Ultra confirmed' (Aug 2026)
Geeky Gadgets: 'Apple Sept Event 2026 Leaks – foldable book-style iPhone Ultra, Watch Ultra 4' (Aug 2026)
Techgenyz: 'iPhone 18 Pro, Ultra foldable, AirPods Pro 3 at Sept 9 event' (Aug 2026)
Manifold Markets / Metaculus Konsens: ~68–70 % für Apple Foldable Announcement 2026

Verdict: Partial Hit

Apple hielt am 9. September 2026 tatsächlich sein Herbst-Event ('Surprise and Shine') ab und kündigte darin offiziell ein faltbares iPhone an – bestätigt durch eine Apple-Pressemitteilung auf apple.com (apple.com/newsroom/2026/09/apple-unveils-iphone-duo/). Die Kernvorhersage (faltbares iPhone, September-Event, offizielle Ankündigung) traf also ein. Falsch lag die Vorhersage beim entscheidenden Namens-Kriterium: Das Gerät heißt 'iPhone Duo', nicht 'iPhone Ultra', wie von Ming-Chi Kuo, Mark Gurman und den meisten Leakern erwartet. Apple nutzte den 'Ultra'-Namen nicht – dieser war offenbar intern zugunsten von 'Duo' verworfen worden (MacRumors: 'RIP, iPhone Ultra'). Preis ($1.999) und Ankündigungstermin stimmten überein, aber das explizit genannte Branding-Kriterium ('vermarktet als iPhone Ultra') ist nicht erfüllt.

Applied Materials Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT) beats Q4 FY2026 EPS consensus of $4.06 per share — earnings report November 12, 2026 after market close (confirmed by Applied Materials Investor Relations or Bloomberg by November 13, 2026, 10:00 AM ET)

Applied Materials has beaten the EPS consensus in all four of its last reported quarters, with an average earnings surprise of +3.5%. The company's own Q4 guidance is $3.82–$4.22 per share; consensus at $4.06 sits near the midpoint, reflecting classic conservative management framing. Revenue is estimated at $10.30B (+51% YoY) — TSMC and Samsung have not pulled back H2 2026 capex plans. No Polymarket market directly available; a 100% beat streak over 4 quarters with a positive guidance range implies 70–75% probability. Risk: supply chain delays or expanded US export controls on advanced chips could force a Q5 inventory build.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) closes above $185.00 per share on at least one trading day in November 2026 — confirmed by Nasdaq or Bloomberg by December 1, 2026

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%.

Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ: CBRS) closes below $100.00 per share on November 10, 2026 (confirmed by Nasdaq or Bloomberg by November 11, 2026)

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.
