iPhone 7 leaks, more on the next MacBook Pro, Apple vs Spotify & much more

Space Black iPhone 7 leaks, more MacBook Pro rumors, and Apple dukes it out with Spotify as reports emerge that Apple is in negotiations to acquire Jay-Z’s Tidal streaming service. Head below for all the handy links to these and our other top shared stories from the past week:

iPhone |

We kick things off with the latest iPhone 7 leaks, including reports of a new darker “Space Black” iPhone color option arriving with the next-generation iPhone this fall. Those reports, including one of our own, were followed up by a number of mockups from the community imagining what the new color might look like.
We questioned what Apple might do with the branding for this year’s iPhones as reports emerged that this year’s device could be a minor upgrade as Apple moves to a three-year refresh cycle for major hardware updates. One questionable report out of China this week claimed iPhone 7/Plus/Pro lines were being planned with 64/128/256GB storage tiers following a similar leak on pricing and modelslast week.
There was also a new report corroborating previous claims that the iPhone 7 will sport a new Force Touch Home button of sorts, while the latest round of leaked iPhone 7 photos claimed to show new (larger) cameras for both 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch models.
