Predicted for 9. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Apple has unveiled new iPhone models every September since 2012 without exception. The September 2026 event is already established as the launch context for other products (open predictions: Apple Home Hub, iPad mini 8th Gen with A19 Pro, AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Ultra 4 – all on September 9, 2026). The A20 Pro chip follows the established chip nomenclature (A18 → iPhone 16 Pro; A19 Pro → iPad mini 8th Gen); Apple Intelligence Pro is the likely evolution of Apple Intelligence (iOS 19/iPadOS 19). No market available – the prediction is near-certified by Apple's unbroken product cycle. Small residual risk (~8%): event postponement or chip branded differently (e.g. A20X).

Verdict: Partial Hit
Das September-Event fand wie vorhergesagt am 9. September 2026 statt ('Surprise and Shine'). Das iPhone 18 Pro (und Pro Max) wurde korrekt mit dem A20 Pro-Chip (2nm, erstes Smartphone mit dieser Technologie) angekündigt – dieser Kernteil der Vorhersage traf ein. Jedoch wurde das standard iPhone 18 (Basismodell) NICHT im September vorgestellt; Apple verschob es auf Frühjahr 2027 (Split-Launch-Strategie). Die Vorhersage nannte explizit 'iPhone 18 und iPhone 18 Pro' als gemeinsame Ankündigung, was nur zur Hälfte zutraf. Zusätzlich wurde mit dem foldable 'iPhone Duo' ein nicht vorhergesagtes Produkt angekündigt. Ob 'Apple Intelligence Pro' als solcher Begriff verwendet wurde, ließ sich nicht eindeutig bestätigen.

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.

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.
