Will this fall’s iPhone have the big redesign we’ve been waiting for?
A few weeks ago, a photo that supposedly showed Apple’s upcoming iPhone 7 Plus case suggested the upcoming phablet will indeed have a dual camera setup on the back, along with redesigned antennas and a Smart Connector that would let you connect the phone to a keyboard. The most annoying detail about that leak concerned the dual camera, which had a protruding configuration that might be even uglier than the one on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. A second leak in mid-March also showed an iPhone 7 design render, supposedly originating from Apple supplier Catcher.
Now, a new report seems to corroborate parts of these leaks and point to a pretty significant redesign — but maybe not the big one we’ve been waiting for.

This is Motor Trend’s vision of the Apple Car that everyone has been waiting for
The “Apple Car” is a mythical creation for the time being and no one knows what it really looks like or if it really even exists. Motor Trend this week took a stab at making a concept model for the “Apple Car” that the publication says is based on “exhaustive” research despite being “entirely speculative” in nature. The idea here is that Motor Trend decided to compare how much Apple had applied minimalist design principles to computers and phones and see what would happen if they tried doing the same things with a car.
The result isn’t exactly pretty, but it is an interesting and thought provoking concept.

Why the White House won’t share San Bernardino iPhone hack with Apple
The San Bernardino iPhone doesn’t contain relevant information for the ongoing investigation of the December mass shooting, but that doesn’t mean the government will share with Apple what security hole was exploited to unlock it. A new report reveals that the company who helped the FBI crack the iPhone has sole legal ownership of the hack, White House sources revealed, which means it’s unlikely the government will disclose it to any entity, including Apple.
