Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Sales: Apple (AAPL) may be looking forward to huge iPhone 6s sales, reports AppleInsider. Following the details from the tech company’s most recent quarter, it was revealed that it had $26.5B in purchase commitments. This is a 26% increase from the same time last year. $22 billion of this was set aside for components and outsourcing. It’s possible that this could be a signal that the company is planning to move a lot more of the iPhone 6s when it’s released than what analysts are expecting.
Remote: Apple may include a fingerprint scanner on its new TV remote, Digital Trends notes. The tech company recently filed patents for a remote device that would include a fingerprint sensor, which would likely be Touch ID. The patent explains that roommates with multiple accounts with the company could use the sensor to quickly switch between profiles while using the set-top box. If the technology described in the patent isn’t used for the TV’s new remote, then it’s possible that it could hint at a new use for iPhones in near future.
Panel: Images that appears to be of the iPhone 6s’ front panel have leaked online, reports MacRumors. The images that were shared are claimed to have come from a source inside the supply line. This source claims that the front panels for the gold and silver versions of the smartphone are finished and are ready to be sent to assemblers. The source couldn’t confirm if the new front panels showed any signs being made compatible with a Force Touch sensor, which is one of the new features rumored to be included in the iPhone 6s. The iPhone 6s isn’t expected to have any outward changes in appearance when compared to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
