Will Apple and Ford announce a formal partnership to co‑develop next‑generation EVs by Aug 31, 2026?

🤖 Context

YES if both Apple and Ford publish matching or joint press releases on their official corporate Newsroom pages (Apple Newsroom and Ford Newsroom) on or before August 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time that explicitly state a formal partnership, strategic partnership, joint development agreement, co‑development, or that one company will supply the other with respect to 'electric vehicles' or 'EVs', according to those Newsroom pages. Otherwise NO. If only third‑party media reports appear, or the companies use only vague language like 'discussions' or 'exploring opportunities' without explicitly declaring a partnership, the market resolves NO.
