Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Beta: Apple (AAPL) has released new betas of iOS 10 to developers and the public, reports MacRumors. The new beta of iOS released to developers and public testers comes just four days after the company released the last version of its iOS 10 betas. The new betas likely fixes bugs and other issues with the mobile operating system that may have popped up with the previous release. It’s possible these problems were bad enough to warrant the quick release of this update.
Price: A new report claims that Apple is pushing for better prices from its Taiwan suppliers. According to this report, the company wants suppliers to sell it parts for its iPhone 7 cheaper than what they are. However, the suppliers are fighting back against the tech company. They argue that there won’t be enough profit in it for them if prices are reduced. The prices the company is asking for are reportedly closer to those in China. The report also claims that AAPL is ordering less parts than normal.
Battery: A new type of battery could solve Apple’s iPhone battery life issues, reports BGR. The new battery is a “anode-free” lithium metal one that can take up half the room as a lithium-ion battery does with the same amount of charge. This type of battery would allow the tech company to offer more battery life to iPhone users without it having to increase the size of the smartphone. The battery is going into mass production, but it’s a little late for the iPhone 7. Still, it might be something to hope for with the release of the 2017 iPhone.
