Lifehacker Is Hosting a 'Big Guessing Game' for Apple's 2026 Announcements

Update: Round 1 of the Lifehacker Big Guessing Game has ended. Check back for new questions in Round 2, which begins July 7.

A few times each year, the tech community lights up with new theories and renewed speculation about what Apple might announce next. Those of us who scour the internet for the latest leaks and whispered rumors might try to guess what colors the next iPhone might come in, or what new features could ship with the next version of iOS, then watch Apple's keynote presentations live to see if we were right. If that sounds like you, listen up: This year, your guesses could win you a brand new Apple Watch.

Throughout 2026, Lifehacker is running a guessing game contest based on Apple's new announcements and releases. Here's how it works: The contest will unfold across three rounds.

• Round 1, which ended on June 2. This round was focused on the scuttlebutt around Apple's software (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, etc.).

• Round 2, which will run from July 7 through July 21, concerns Apple's devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, Vision Pro, etc.).

• Round 3, which will span Aug. 18 through Sept. 1, centers on Apple's fall event.

During each round, you'll answer five questions about what Apple might announce or reveal during its major keynote events. Each question you answer with a correct prediction earns you one entry into the grand-prize drawing, to be held at the conclusion of all three rounds. If you win the drawing, you'll walk away with the latest version of the Apple Watch.

To be eligible, an entrant must be at least 18 years old, and a resident of the 50 U.S. states or Washington, D.C. Lifehacker isn't throwing this event alone: The other CNET Group sites (CNET, Mashable, PCMag, ZDNET) are also hosting their own questions. That means there will be 75 possible questions to answer across all CNET Group sites and all three rounds. You're free to submit answers to any and all of the questionnaires on these sites during each round, but please note that each entrant is only eligible to win one prize. Each of the five websites will announce the winner of its contest shortly after Apple's fall event.

Once you've answered, you'll receive a copy of your responses at the email address you provide, so you can keep track of your predictions. Make sure to come back in July for Round 2 of Lifehacker's Big Guessing Game: Apple Edition.
