A prediction market on Manifold (source: Manifold) shows a 77.34% probability that Apple will release an AI chip for iPhones in 2026. This signals strong belief in Apple's continued vertical integration into custom silicon for AI workloads at the edge. If realized, it would reduce Apple's reliance on external chip suppliers such as Qualcomm for connectivity and could bolster its competitive position in on-device AI. While not a confirmed announcement, the high probability suggests increasing market conviction. Spillover effects include potential manufacturing demand for TSMC and competitive pressure on Qualcomm's mobile chip business.
AAPL has not made a large direction-matching 30-90 day move yet.
