Not out yet. Here is when we think it lands, and exactly why we think so.

We will keep this on your list as the date moves.

Good guess · Right month, maybe not the day

18 October 2026

in 13 days

Almost certainly between 7 October and 2 November 2026 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.

Where we started The rumours alone Nothing quite like this has launched before, so there is no past pattern to lean on — everything here comes from what people are reporting.

Reports behind it 2 separate stories Found across 2 articles. When several sites repeat the same leak, we count it once — otherwise one rumour would look like proof.

Since last time 1 day later Last changed on 5 Oct 2026. We recheck every day, and only write a new forecast down when this answer moves.

US dollar Reported

from $219

Stated as fact, but by only one or two sources.

The article wrote a bare currency symbol, so we have assumed USD.
