Leading the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) rumor mill today is news of iOS 1o apps appearing in the App Store. Today, we’ll look at that and other Apple Rumors for Wednesday.
iOS 10 Apps: The first iOS 10 apps have started showing up in the App Store, reports MacRumors. According to the report, these new apps are showing up as the company prepares to release the final version of iOS 10 to the public on Tuesday. Several of the apps are designed to add additional functionality to Messenger. The company will also be launching a Messenger App Store tomorrow to give users an easy way to search for these types of apps.
Battery Life: A new report claims that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have better batteries than their predecessors, AppleInisder notes. The report claims that the iPhone 7 will come with a 1,960 milliamp-hour battery. The iPhone 6s was powered by a 1,715 milliamp-hour battery. The iPhone 7 Plus will reportedly have a 2,900 milliamp-hour battery. This is an increase over the 2,750 milliamp-hour battery found in the iPhone 6s Plus. This will hopefully help to keep owners from having to charge their smartphones multiple times per day.
iPhone 8 May Have Ceramic Shell: There are rumors floating about that the iPhone 8 will have a ceramic shell, reports BGR. According to this rumor, the tech company may choose to use a ceramic case made of Zirconia for its next major iPhone. This report claims that Zirconia would be a great fit for the smartphone due to its ability to better disperse heat than aluminum. It can also let radio waves through, which would negate the need for antenna bands. The company has already announced an Apple Watch Series 2 device that has a ceramic case. It has also filed a patent that showed the possibility of using ceramics for an iPhone shell.
