Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Hack: More reports of hacked iPhone devices are appearing across the web, reports MacRumors. It appears that more people are reportedly being locked out of their iPhone and other iOS devices by Russian hackers. There hasn’t been a confirmed security leak from Apple (AAPL), which means it’s unlikely that iCloud was hacked. Some iPhone owners have seen messages asking for $50 to $100 to unlock their devices.
Bug: A bug with the public iOS 10 beta is locking users’ Apple IDs, BGR notes. The exact cause of the bug is unknown, but the locking of a person’s ID can make their devices almost completely useless. The problem happens when a device asks the user to re-enter their ID password. Normally this isn’t a problem, but users with two-step authentication are having issues in the iOS 10 public beta. The feature isn’t working in the beta yet and this can result in users’ accounts being locked.
Shell: What appears to be an image of an iPhone 7 rear shell has been posted online, reports AppleInsider. If the image really is of the iPhone 7’s rear shell, it’s the best one yet. The image is very clear and shows many of the changes that have been talked about in rumors. This includes the redesigned antenna bands and the larger single-lens camera. The lens isn’t flush with the rear of the device, which also matches with rumors. This appears to be the shell for the 4.7-inch version of the iPhone 7. The angle of the picture doesn’t reveal if there’s an opening for a headphone jack at the bottom.
