Here are your Apple Rumors for today:

apple-rumors-apple-car-carbon-fiber-shell-aapliPad: A new rumor claims that Apple’s (AAPL) unannounced iPad mini 4 will be similar to the iPad Air 2, reports 9to5Mac. The rumor claims that the iPad mini 4 will be 6.1mm thick and sport an 8MP front-facing camera. This combined with a laminated display and antireflective coating are all features that currently exist on the iPad Air 2. The current generation of the iPad mini is 7.5 mm and missing the other mentioned features. This rumor also claims that the device will launch at the same time that the rumored iPad Pro does.

iPhone: Apple may not be working on an iPhone 6c, MacRumors notes. Supply chain insiders have reportedly claimed that all efforts to create materials for a possible 4-inch iPhone haven’t been going since March. It’s possible that the tech company has only decided to delay the release of the iPhone 6c until 2016. Some believe that this could be an effort on the company’s part to keep iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sales strong.

iCar: A possible idea of what Apple’s iCar could look like has been reported, reports BGR. Manager Magazin, which is based out of Germany, claims that the tech company is looking to model its rumored electric car after the BMW i3. The rumor claims that AAPL is particularly interested in the carbon-fiber shell that reinforces the vehicles. The company was reportedly in talks with BMW last year, but those seem to have slowed down. It might be due to BMW not wanting to help possible competition.
