But there are other topics that traders are more divided on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But traders are more uncertain on other topics. <\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s artificial intelligence model Gemini has a 27% chance to get mentioned. Apple has a deal with Google to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/01\/12\/apple-google-ai-siri-gemini.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">implement the model<\/a> into its Apple Intelligence features, but Apple is also widely viewed by Wall Street as the biggest tech laggard on AI development. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, traders mostly think the company won&#8217;t chat about glasses, assigning only a 24% chance. Apple has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2026-04-12\/apple-ai-smart-glasses-features-styles-colors-cameras-giannandrea-leaving-mnvtz4yg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">reportedly<\/a> been working on designing an AI-supported smart glasses product as a new wearable technology for quite some time, but has yet to make a formal announcement of the development. <\/p>\n<p>Traders also give just a 9% chance the company says fold, folding or foldable. That&#8217;s after a report this month that the timeline for the development Apple&#8217;s proposed foldable iPhone is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/04\/07\/apple-stock-foldable-iphone-report.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">delayed<\/a>.\u00a0However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-04-07\/apple-s-foldable-iphone-remains-on-track-for-september-debut\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a Bloomberg report<\/a> indicates a planned fall 2026 launch is still on schedule.  <\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: CNBC and Kalshi have a commercial relationship that includes a CNBC minority investment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Choose CNBC as your preferred source on Google and never miss a moment from the most trusted name in business news.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tim Cook and John Ternus at Apple Park.
