Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 3 outcomes.

Why this matters:
Markets currently reflect an expectation that if Apple releases a foldable iPhone, it will cost at least $1,800, with lower probability assigned to higher price points. This pricing structure reflects existing foldable device costs (Samsung Galaxy Z Fold currently $1,799–$1,999) and Apple's historical premium positioning. The main drivers are Apple's supply chain capabilities, component costs for foldable displays, and competitive pressure from existing Android foldables. An official product announcement or leak with confirmed specifications would be the primary catalyst to resolve current uncertainty around both whether a foldable iPhone launches and its price tier. Until then, markets are pricing in moderate confidence in a premium-tier release rather than a budget alternative.

Key factors:
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 launched June 2024 at $1,799, establishing the current market baseline for flagship foldables
- Apple has not confirmed a foldable iPhone; announcement date remains speculative, making price discovery purely forward-looking
- Historical pattern: Apple's first-generation flagship devices typically price at or above competitor equivalents (original iPad, Apple Watch Series 1)
- Foldable display component costs have declined year-over-year but remain the primary manufacturing constraint limiting sub-$1,500 pricing
- Market probability divergence ($1,800 at 90% vs. $2,200 at 42%) suggests meaningful uncertainty about whether Apple opts for premium tier or competitive positioning

Contracts:
- What will be the price of a foldable iPhone?: At least $1800 — 92¢ Kalshi $0 (weight 0%)
- What will be the price of a foldable iPhone?: At least $2000 — 81¢ Kalshi $0 (weight 4%)
- What will be the price of a foldable iPhone?: At least $2200 — 55¢ Kalshi $8 (weight 96%)

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.

## SF Signal
