Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Screen: Apple (AAPL) is now offering to install screen protectors for customers, reports 9to5Mac. Customers that stop by the company’s retail locations can have certain Belkin screen protectors bought there installed by an employee. The employee will use a special machine to install the screen protectors. The process is free and improperly installed screen protectors will be replaced at no cost. The service is only available for the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s and 6s Plus.
Hackers: Hackers are incredibly interested in getting into Apple’s system, BGR notes. A new report claims that a hacker group from Ireland is offering $23,000 to AAPL employees for their login information. The hackers make their offers to employees that it doesn’t appear will be lifelong workers for the company. The tech company is working to combat these efforts with its own program called “Grow Your Own,” but the details of this program are currently unknown. Hackers haven’t said what their goals would be if they actually ever obtained the login information.
Watch: Apple is looking to hire a software engineer for its Watch clock face team, reports AppleInsider. It’s possible that this new job search hints at the company wanting to add more faces to its smartwatch. These new faces could be announced during the company’s March event. The device currently has 12 different faces available, three of which were added when watchOS 2 was released late last year. There’s also a face option that is limited to owners of the Hermes version of the smartwatch.
