Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
iPhone 7 Is Accidentally Confirmed: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) accidentally updated one of its websites with iPhone 7 and 7 Plus listings, reports BGR. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus showed up in a sidebar on the company’s website when one user was searching through the company’s accessories. The person got a screenshot of the mistake and posted it to Reddit. The user said they refreshed the page and the tech company had already fixed the mistake. The new smartphones should be announced during the company’s media event taking place tomorrow.
Apple Watch: United Kingdom-based repair shop Byte has posted more videos tearing down components of the Apple Watch 2, MacRumors notes. Byte’s latest video has it taking apart the display for the Watch 2. The teardown had it removing the display glass and touch panel from the rest of the LCD assembly. The repair shop found that an NFC chip has been incorporated into the display. This is a change from the previous version of the smartwatch, which had the NFC chip as a separate component.
Apple EarPods: KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple will be releasing high-end wireless EarPods, reports 9to5Mac. According to the analyst, the tech company will release its own brand of Bluetooth headphones. He also claims that the company will use its own Bluetooth-like communication chip for the project to save power. These headphones are expected to be more high-end than Beats, which will become mid-range headphones after the new EarPods are released. The report doesn’t say if the new EarPods will be released at the same time as the iPhone 7, or at a later date.
