Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Leak: We now have the best look yet at a possible iPhone 7 dummy unit thanks to TechnoBuffalo. The online publication purchased what is claimed to be a dummy unit for Apple’s (AAPL) upcoming iPhone 7 from a Chinese seller. The item was shipped to the U.S. and it has released a full video going over details of the device. The version it obtained is Rose Gold and is compared to a Rose Gold version of the iPhone 6s. The dummy unit obtained is for the 4.7-inch version of the upcoming iPhone. It includes the redesigned antenna lines, larger camera lens and missing headphone jack that previous rumors have mentioned.
Pencil: Apple has been granted a patent for a Pencil stylus that would work with Mac computers, reports AppleInsider. The patent describes a stylus that could be used with Mac computers either via a Force Touch trackpad, a touch screen or with motions made in the air. The stylus in the patent is also more complex than the Pencil that works with the iPad Pro. It lets users input various different commands through movement and there’s even mention of it acting like a joystick.
Watch: Apple may be preparing to launch the Apple Watch 2 later this year, DigiTimes notes. According to what are claimed to be supply chain sources, the tech company is planning to release the next generation of its smartwatch sometime in September or October. This same rumor also claims that supply chains are seeing “conservative orders” for the upcoming device, which could be a sign that the company doesn’t expect many users to upgrade to the new model.
