Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
iPhone: A famous celebrity in Taiwan has been photographed with an iPhone 7, reports BGR. The celebrity that may have gotten their hands on Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone 7 before its official release is Jimmy Lin. The image appears to show him using the 5.5-inch iPhone 7, which will likely be called the iPhone 7 Plus. While it’s possible that Lin is just holding one of the many dummy units for the iPhone 7 Plus that have been seen online, this isn’t the first time he’s had a new iPhone before it was released. He got a hold of an iPhone 5 in 2012 before it was officially released and leaked the design of the iPhone 6 in 2014.
Gliimpse: A new report shows that Apple has purchased health startup Gliimpse, AppleInsider notes. The purchase actually took place earlier this year and it’s likely to help push forward the tech company’s health efforts. Gliimpse was working on a way to let users access and share all of their health information from across multiple different healthcare providers with ease. The startup was created by former AAPL engineer Anil Sethi. It’s efforts will likely be incorporated into CareKit, HealthKit, and ResearchKit.
Pro: Rumor has it that Apple is planning to release three new iPhone devices in 2017, reports MacRumors. According to this rumor, the tech company will be releasing the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch versions of its smartphone like it does every year. However, the third version, which could be named something along the lines of the iPhone 7 Pro, is said to have a 5.5-inch curved OLED display. This could have it appearing similar to Samsung Electronic KRW5000’s (OTCMKTS:SSNLF) Samsung Galaxy S7 edge.
