This market will resolve to "Yes" if Apple officially releases a "MacBook" product with cellular connectivity by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A qualifying product must be named "MacBook". A product that would accomplish a similar function will not qualify, the name must actually be "MacBook". In order to be considered released, the product must be available for purchase by the general public within the specified timeframe. An announcement or unveiling alone is not sufficient. The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from Apple. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.**No at 96.2% reflects overwhelming trader consensus that Apple will not release a MacBook with built-in cellular connectivity (5G/LTE modem) by June 30, 2026.** The latest MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, announced in early March 2026 and shipping shortly after, feature Apple's N1 wireless chip for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 alongside Thunderbolt 5 ports, but explicitly lack any cellular modem. Instead, they rely on Continuity features that relay cellular data or calls through a nearby iPhone. Development of Apple's custom modem technology (C1 in recent iPhones, with C2 expected later) and internal code references confirm ongoing work toward a cellular MacBook Pro, yet credible reports consistently point to a potential debut no earlier than late 2026 or early 2027, likely tied to M6-series chips or a redesigned "MacBook Ultra." With just over two weeks remaining until the deadline and no announcements, leaks, supply-chain signals, or regulatory filings indicating an imminent launch, the market views a surprise release as unrealistic. While unforeseen events such as an ultra-rapid certification push or unpublicized supply-chain acceleration could theoretically shift outcomes, the short timeframe, established product cadence, and complete absence of supporting evidence make such scenarios remote. Traders' real-money positions therefore heavily favor "No" based on verifiable timelines and the lack of any qualifying product.
