iPhone 8 Rumors, Blood Glucose Sensors, Swatch Ticks Off Apple - MacRumors

Brought to you by: Potential 'iPhone 8' Render Shows Vertical Camera and Rear Touch ID, But Likely One of Several Designs With likely just five months to go until Apple unveils the iPhone 8, we've heard a lot of rumors but have yet to see any actual part leaks from the upcoming device. A new alleged design drawing could, however, offer a glimpse of what it might look like. While this could be a fake or a prototype design, the drawing depicts a device that's slightly larger and thicker than an iPhone 7 and which has only very narrow top and bottom bezels. A dual rear camera is shown in a vertical orientation, and a possible Touch ID sensor is shown in the middle of the device's rear casing. Apple had been rumored to be integrating Touch ID directly into the display, but one recent rumor claims Apple has had trouble achieving this, which could explain moving the fingerprint sensor to the rear. Both the iPhone 8 and more traditional "iPhone 7s" models are said to include 3 GB of RAM and retain Lightning ports.   Read Full Article Sponsored Stories MailButler: A Simple Way to Avoid Email Mistakes Given the volume of emails most employees are sending and receiving each day, it's not surprising that mistakes are made once in a while by everyone.

Apple is said to have roughly 30 engineers working on optical sensors that could help diabetics monitor their blood glucose levels, a project that was reportedly started under Steve Jobs.

Apple has favored AMD over Nvidia for graphics over the past several years, and while these new beta drivers are only immediately useful to those upgrading older Mac Pro models, using external GPUs, or building Hackintoshes, they offer some optimism that Apple may readopt Nvidia technology and offer users broad upgrade possibilities for the upcoming redesigned Mac Pro.   Read Full Article Apple Sues Swatch Over 'Tick Different' Marketing Campaign Swatch has been advertising its Bellamy wristwatch with built-in Visa NFC payment technology under the tagline "Tick Different," and that's apparently ticked off Apple, as the company has filed suit against Swatch.
