Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Watch: A new video shows off what may be parts for the Apple (AAPL) Watch 2, reports MacRumors. The video was posted by a repair shop that claims to have parts for the Watch 2. In the video, a new display that is thinner than the one found in the first-generation Watch is revealed. It also includes footage of a larger battery that could be coming to the device. The shop that posted the video is named “Byte.” It is located in Britain and sells certified repair parts and accessories for iOS devices.
HDMI: USB Type-C can now be used to replace HDMI cables. This new information comes from HDMI Licensing, the group that handles the HDMI standard. It has announced that an HDMI Alternate Mode now allows the USB Type-C to work with HDMI plugs. This means that manufacturers will now be able to create cables that go straight from a USB Type-C to HDMI plug without the need for an adapter. This is good news for fans of Apple, which has been switching to the USB Type-C format for some of its newer MacBooks.
Video: What appears to be a video of working iPhone 7 smartphones has been posted online, BGR notes. The new video shows off what appear to be three iPhone 7 devices all up and running. It is still not possible to confirm that these are genuine iPhone 7 smartphones, but the source of the video has posted reliable Apple leaks in the past. The iPhone 7 is expected to officially launch on Sept. 7.
