Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Car: A new report claims that Apple (AAPL) executive Bob Mansfield will be leading the company’s car efforts, reports TechCrunch. This news comes from insider sources that are close to the matter. They claim that the tech company will have him take over the Project Titan effort and that he will report directly to AAPL CEO Tim Cook. Mansfield left the company’s board in 2013, but stayed on work on a special project that turned out to be the Apple Watch. There’s still be no official confirmation from the company that it’s developing its own vehicle.
6SE: A new rumor claims that Apple won’t be releasing the iPhone 7 later this year, AppleInsider notes. According to this rumor, the tech company is planning to call its 2016 iPhone the iPhone 6SE. If true, this means that the company is switching to the three-year redesign cycle that has been previously rumored. This change would also allow the planned device to fall in line with the iPhone SE that was released earlier this year. Not introducing the iPhone 7 could make sense seeing as leaks of the 2016 iPhone have only shown minor outer changes when compared to previous major redesigns.
Sensors: Rumor has it that Apple is planning to release an iPhone in 2018 with iris sensors, reports DigiTimes. This rumor was released alongside several others that claim various different smartphone makers will be releasing their own devices with biometrics technology in the next couple of years. It noted that Samsung Electronic KRW5000 (OTCMKTS:SSNLF) will lead the way with a smartphone with iris sensors being released in the second half of 2016.
