What could move it
- An official announcement from Apple about iPhone 18 or a confirmed launch date would crystallize the outcome.
- Any disruption to Apple's typical product cycle—production delays, strategic pivot away from numbering, or major market shifts—could move odds before the end-of-year deadline.
