Alleged Foxconn insiders spill the beans on the iPhone 8 and a whole lot more
MacBook
The leakers noted several interesting tidbits when it came to the laptop line. First, and possibly the oddest, that MagSafe would be returning to the line in “12 – 18 months.†We note this as odd simply because Apple doesn’t typically go backwards, so we’re not sure what this would mean for USB-C.
They also noted that no laptops within the next 18 months would have any sort of touch display other than the Touchbar, ruling out Force Touch.
If you’re looking for a new Mac laptop, though, they noted the entire line will be updated this year.
Siri Speaker
Many rumors point to the Siri Speaker being unveiled at the WWDC keynote this Monday, but the leakers said it wouldn’t launch until later in the year. They did confirm the rumored design that it looks like a smaller Mac Pro, but they weren’t certain on the final design as they had not seen it in some time. During the testing phase they said there were versions without a screen which implies at least one did have a screen.
Apple TV
What’s a batch of Apple rumors without a mention of the long-rumored Apple television set? They said there will be news coming later this year, but if I had a nickel for every time we’ve heard we’re close to this vaporware appearing, I would be close to being able to afford it should it ever materialize.
There were some other mixed rumors such as there will be a third size of iPad and that Apple is sticking with Lightning as its cable of choice for mobile products, but to call this a windfall of info would be an understatement.
We do, however, suggest remembering that these people were only confirmed to POSSIBLY have access to this info. We would suggest taking all of this with a very healthy dose of salt before putting too much stock into any of it.
