Rumors are flying left and right about which features will be rolling out on the next iPhone. It’s an annual cycle that usually hits its peak going into late July, as Apple usually holds its announcements in September.
According to The Verge, Apple accidentally pushed out firmware for its new HomePod, releasing in December, and developers such as Steve Troughton-Smith (@stroughtonsmith) and others went digging through the code that came with it. After some time, he took to Twitter to reveal some interesting tidbits of what’s to come.
