Deeper stylus integration, faster displays planned for iPads
New MacBooks, iMac, and 5K monitor with LG in product pipeline

The iPhone 7 just came out, so of course rumors are already swirling about next year’s model.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office today granted Apple a patent that describes a Touch ID sensor which could effectively detect and read a user’s fingerprints through other components of the smartphone, “such as display stacks and touch screens” (via AppleInsider).

As much as we lampoon some of the sillier rumors in this space, we do like taking a peek into the crystal ball of what might happen and picking out our favorites to bet on. As we all know, some of them come true, some of them never do, some may come true someday — so they’re like prayers, in a way — and there is some fun in handicapping the likelihood of which camp a given rumor will fall.
