Wait for New Apple Hardware Continues, Video Overviews of iOS 10 and More, iPhone Rumors - MacRumors

Brought to you by: Hardware-Free WWDC Sets Stage for Busy Second Half of 2016 In line with expectations, Apple didn't make any hardware announcements at last week's WWDC, which means many of the company's products remain sorely in need of updates. We took a look at what that might mean for the rest of 2016, including the iPhone 7, several updated Mac models including a revamped MacBook Pro, and a likely second-generation Apple Watch. While the wait for new hardware continues, at least we've got an all-new set of operating system versions now in beta to tide us over, and we'll be spending the coming weeks and months providing a closer look at these updates.   Read Full Article Sponsored Stories Manage and Secure Your Apple Devices at Work Bushel is a cloud-based Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution for the iPads, iPhones, and Macs in your workplace.

With the mainstream media now jumping on board with the headphone rumor, that's sparked quite a bit of discussion about the impact of such a change, and we also took a look at one third-party adapter that allows existing headphones with a standard 3.5 mm plug to be connected to a Lightning port. In other iPhone 7 rumors, we're hearing the front earpiece and sensors may see some changes in their sizes and arrangement, making existing protective films and cases incompatible with the new phone, while a sketchy report suggests the device could include dual-SIM support. Looking even further ahead, The Wall Street Journal's report this week also corroborates recent rumors about the 2017 iPhone, which is shaping up to be a major update that could feature an edge-to-edge OLED display with Touch ID fingerprint recognition built right in to allow for the removal of the iconic home button.   Read Full Article Apple Explains Why iMessage Hasn't Expanded to Android One of the last-minute rumors ahead of WWDC was that Apple would announce an expansion of its iMessage service to Android, but while Apple revealed some nice upgrades for the service including third-party extension support, an Android announcement failed to come to fruition. Walt Mossberg raised the topic with an unnamed senior Apple executive who explained that the existing Apple user base is big enough to support the AI learning the company wants to leverage for future improvements, and that iMessage exclusivity for Apple's platforms remains a strong selling point in attracting customers.   Read Full Article Phil Schiller and Craig Federighi Talk iMessage, Siri API and Mac App Store on 'The Talk Show' The day after the WWDC keynote, Phil Schiller and Craig Federighi sat down with Daring Fireball's John Gruber for a live taping of "The Talk Show," addressing a number of topics in a refreshingly informal setting. Schiller and Federighi offered some additional context and explanation on some of the announcements from the keynote and some of the other recent changes affecting third-party app developers such as app subscriptions.
