Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Magic: Developers have discovered references to new Magic devices from Apple (AAPL) in the new OS X El Capitan beta, reports MacRumors. Inside the new beta, developers found references to a Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2. The tech company already sells a wireless keyboard, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad, which means these are likely upgraded version of those devices. The Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2 were first mentioned in FCC filings in August. It’s possible that the new devices may launch alongside the rumored 4K 21.5-inch Retina iMac that is expected to be released next week.
Quality: A professional photographer claims the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus capture better quality video than professional cameras, BGR notes. Professional photographer Lee Morris tested the new iPhone 6s out against the Nikon D810s and D750s and found that it could capture better video with its 4K quality. He discovered that after sizing the video down to 1080 that it was much better than the Nikon cameras. He noted that this doesn’t hold true in all situations, such as those with low light, but did voice complaints that Nikon doesn’t offer 4K video in its cameras that cost thousands of dollars.
Charging: Apple has filed a patent for a new way to wirelessly charge smartphones, reports International Business Times. The new patent is titled “Inductive Power Transfer Using Acoustic or Haptic Devices.” The patent goes into detail about a metal coil that could be used as a speaker or microphone, but also charge the device. The patent also mentions how coils connected to haptic feedback devices could be used to charge a device when not being used for their primary purpose.
