This market resolves to “YES” if Apple officially releases and sells AirPods with built-in EEG (electroencephalography) functionality to the general public by December 31, 2025. The EEG features must be accessible to regular consumers who purchase the product — prototypes, developer-only versions, or research-limited models do not count.

For resolution, Apple must explicitly market the EEG functionality as part of the AirPods’ features, and reputable sources (such as Apple’s website, press releases, or major tech media) must confirm that consumers can use the EEG capabilities out of the box.

Factors to consider:

• Apple has filed patents related to EEG-integrated earbuds.

• Other companies are developing EEG-enabled earbuds for health and BCI applications.

• Apple has expanded its health and biometrics focus in wearables like the Apple Watch.

Will Apple bring EEG to AirPods at a large scale in 2025, or is this technology still years away? 🧠
