Developer tools, AI chips, or servers marketed exclusively for enterprise use would not qualify.

The leading candidate is a portable, screenless smart speaker—described as doughnut-shaped with moving mechanical elements—targeted for a 2026 unveiling and early 2027 shipping at $200–400. Earlier 2026 launch targets for earbuds or other form factors have slipped, and an Apple trade-secrets lawsuit filed in July 2026 seeks an injunction that could further delay commercialization. A niche Codex Micro keypad launched in July 2026, but it does not count as the flagship consumer product. These timeline shifts and legal risks shape trader views on near-term resolution.
