During a Cirrus Logic (CRUS) conference call, company CEO Jason Rhode talked positively about the idea of Lightning headphones. He also made comments that there were people thinking about putting noise-canceling technology in box in response to a question about why it expects to sell so much of the tech. Apple was never mentioned by name during the conference call, but Cirrus Logic gets most of its business from the tech company.

Streaming: A new rumor claims that Apple’s streaming service will be announced later this year, BGR notes. According to this rumor, the tech company is currently working with people in Hollywood to develop exclusive content for its streaming service. This rumor also claims that the service will be announced alongside the iPhone 7 in September. It’s possible that AAPL started looking more closely at exclusive content after failing to reach agreements with content providers.

Charging: There’s a rumor going around that Apple wants to have wireless charging for its devices as early as 2017, reports Bloomberg. This rumor comes from unnamed insider sources that claim the technology to charge a device wirelessly from a distance is currently being worked on. These sources say that the tech could be implemented in the 2017 updates for the iPhone and iPad line. The tech company already has scaled down version of wireless charging for its Apple Watch via induction.
