Leading the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) rumor mill today is news of a plastic display for the next iPhone. Today, we’ll look at that and other Apple Rumors for Monday.
iPhone 8 Display: A new rumor claims that Apple will use a curved plastic OLED display in the iPhone 8, reports 9to5Mac. According to this rumor, AAPL will be using the curved plastic OLED display in its premium iPhone next year. There have already been rumors that the tech company plans to launch three smartphones in 2017. Two will feature LCD displays and one will use an OLED display. The rumor claims that the tech company will be getting its curved plastic OLED displays from Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (OTCMKTS:SSNLF).
AirPods Launch: The AirPods are finally available to customers, MacRumors notes. Customers can pick up the wireless AirPods earbuds at select Apple Stores across the United States. Customers that placed orders online are also seeing their shipments start to show up. Those living in Europe and other parts of the world started getting the wireless earbuds earlier due to time zone differences. The tech company is reportedly keeping about 100 pair of AirPods in stock at the select Stores and high demand is causing them to sell out fast.
Project Titan Hire: A new report claims that Apple hired Porsche’s Alexander Hitzinger for Project Titan, reports AppleInsider. According to this report, AAPL hired Hitzinger to join Project Titan in Spring 2016. Hitzinger is the former head of Porsche’s race program. His LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) profile claims he left the company in March of 2016. It also states that he joined a tech company based in San Francisco, Calif., the following month. Project Titan is rumored to be AAPL’s secret car project.
