AWT News Update: September 2, 2016

Just a reminder — due to the US Labor Day weekend, the next AWT News Update episode will appear on Tuesday, September 6. 

  • Some rather bogus looking “iPhone 7 boxes” from Hungary and Russia show that the devices come with wireless AirPods, but we’ll just wait and see. Earlier bogus boxes showed them coming with “EarPods with Lightning Connector”.
  • Just in time for the “iPhone 7” announcement, we’re starting to hear rumors about the “iPhone 8” or “10th Anniversary iPhone”. The big feature? An iris scanner for authentication.
  • Apple’s Twitter account may have been finally activated after being set up in 2011, just for the purpose of either live-tweeting or live streaming the event next Wednesday.
