Prediction market Polymarket now prices a 60% chance that Apple will launch a MacBook with a touchscreen by Dec. 31, after the odds spiked to an all-time high of 86% earlier this week and then cooled. The betting follows Apple's unveiling of its iPhone 18 lineup, including the foldable iPhone Duo, which starts at $1,999 and features a 7.6-inch inner display plus a 5.4-inch outer display covering about 90% of the iPhone 18 Pro's screen area. Preorders for the iPhone Duo open on Oct. 16, with store availability beginning Oct. 23. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, commented on the new device, saying, "iPhone Duo is pretty good for charting," and shared a screenshot from the Binance app showing the BNB/USDT price. Investor Gary Black predicted the phone will "usher in a new iPhone upgrade cycle" and "substantially increase" Apple's average selling price, while Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had opposed touchscreens on computers as "ergonomically terrible."
