A Manifold prediction market (source: Manifold) currently shows a 77.34% consensus that Apple will release an AI chip for iPhones in 2026. This high probability, while speculative, signals increasing belief in Apple's move to on-device AI inference, aligning with the AI edge hardware trend. If realized, such a chip would likely be manufactured by TSMC (spillover), enhance Apple's competitive position against NVDA and QCOM in mobile AI, and reduce reliance on external AI accelerators. The signal is low confidence due to its source being a prediction market rather than an official announcement.
AAPL has not made a large direction-matching 30-90 day move yet.
