Here are your Apple Rumors for today:

Apple Rumors, Siri for Mac, Icon, AAPLSiri: New images back up claims that Siri is coming to Macs in OS X 10.12, reports MacRumors. The new images were shared with the online publication from a source it claimed to be reliable. These images show both Siri dock and menu bar icons. The source also claims that the Apple (AAPL) assistant can also be used with the “Hey Siri” voice command. Current expectations have Siri for Mac being shown off at WWDC 2016, which will take place from June 13 to June 17.

Complex: A new report claims that the iPhone 7 is more “complex” to build than previous Apple smartphones, BGR notes. This report could be hinting at new features that will be included in the iPhone 7 that are making it tougher to put together. This would run contrary to many rumors that have claimed the smartphone will be very similar to the iPhone 6s. The report also claims that suppliers are hiring extra help and are starting earlier to get the smartphones ready for a possible September launch.

Sensor: A new patent filed by Apple describes a different way to scan fingerprints, reports 9to5Mac. This patent mentions an ultrasonic imaging sensor that could be used to read a person’s fingerprint from underneath a display. This sensor would allow the tech company to remove the Home button, which houses the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, from future versions of its iPhone. This could also lead to the removal of bezels around displays on the devices.
