Data: Apple (AAPL) has been unable to obtain data on the iPhone connected to the disappearance of two boys, reports 9to5Mac. The iPhone belonged to one of two boys that went missing at sea in July 2015. Their boat was recently discovered drifting 100 miles off the shore of Bermuda in March. However, it was too damaged for the company to recover any data from. However, it did say that other experts may be able to help. The family of the boy that owned it wants to keep it as a memento, but the other family wants to know what data is on it.
iTunes: Apple has shot down a rumor that it would end music downloads through iTunes in two years, MacRumors notes. This rumor claims that the tech company was planning to put an end to the music download service over the next four year. The rumor stated that people close to the subject said it was only a matter of when the service got shut down, not if. A representative for the company said that this rumor isn’t true.
Home: A new Apple patent details a system that could track different users in their own homes, reports AppleInsider. The patent describes a setup where the smart devices in the house could track and recognize multiple users’ patterns. This would allow it to take action for them based on what it sees them about to do. Users would be tracked via their iPhone and Apple Watch. This could include something simple like turning the TV on for a user that does that every day when they come home from work.
