Resolution criteria on PolyGram: 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.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.
Market outcomes
| Will Apple release a MacBook with cellular connectivity by June 30? | 8% YES | 92% NO |
Apple has not yet integrated cellular connectivity into any MacBook model, despite the technology becoming standard in competing laptops and tablets. The question centres on whether the company will release a MacBook with built-in cellular capabilities by mid-2026, with the current Polymarket order book pricing this outcome at 8% probability.
Apple's historical approach to cellular connectivity reveals a cautious pattern. The company added LTE to iPad Pro in 2015 but has resisted integrating it into MacBooks, instead positioning cellular as an iPad feature and relying on iPhone tethering for Mac users. This conservative strategy, combined with Apple's preference for proprietary solutions and the technical complexity of integrating cellular modems into thin laptop designs, contextualises why traders are pricing this scenario as a low-probability event. Competitors including Dell, Lenovo and Samsung have offered cellular MacBook equivalents for years without capturing significant market share, suggesting limited demand.
Key catalysts to monitor include Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (typically June) and any product announcements through early 2026. The company's supply chain decisions regarding modem procurement would likely surface in analyst reports before official launches. Additionally, shifts in Apple's iPad strategy—particularly whether cellular remains iPad-exclusive—would signal intentions for MacBook product lines. Regulatory changes affecting connectivity standards or shifts in enterprise demand for always-connected laptops could alter Apple's calculus, though no such pressures are currently evident. The 18-month timeframe provides limited runway for a product category Apple has deliberately avoided.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
The mechanics for trading "Will Apple release a MacBook with cellular connectivity by June 30?" are the same as any other PolyGram event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.
$7K in lifetime turnover and $2K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for tech contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
The market has been open for 8 months — long enough that the order book is mature and price is well-anchored to fundamentals.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
As of today, traders on Polymarket price this outcome at 8%. The number updates continuously as the order book clears. PolyGram mirrors the same live odds with locale-aware formatting and USDC settlement.
