Leading the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) rumor mill today is a new iPhone patent. Today, we’ll look at that and other Apple Rumors for Thursday.
iPhone Patent: A new Apple iPhone patent shows a possible future for the device, reports AppleInsider. The patent shows off details for a device that has a curved display. The patent shows that this display could potentially cover both the back and front of the device. It also shows the ability to fold the device up. Another previous patent included details for an iPhone with a clam-shell design. This may mean that the tech company is considering a folding iPhone for the future and that it will have a curved display.
Super Mario Run: Customers can now test out Super Mario Run, 9to5Mac notes. The new smartphone game from Nintendo Co., Ltd (ADR) (OTCMKTS:NTDOY) can be experienced before its official launch next week by stopping by one of Apple’s retail locations. These locations will have a demo of the game available for visitors. The game will launch on Dec. 15 for iOS devices and it will cost customers $9.99.
iPhone 7 Speaker: One clever Reddit user has found a way to get water out of his iPhone 7 speaker, reports BGR. The iPhone 7 owner downloaded an app called Sonic and used it to expel water from the smartphone’s speaker. He did this by setting the frequency to 165 Hz. He says this allows the person to actually see the speaker pushing moisture out of the cavity. The Apple Watch Series 2 uses a similar idea to push water out of its speaker cavity. The Sonic app is free to download, which means anyone can use it to stop water from distorting the sound of their iPhone 7 speaker.
