Upon learning about Rambo's discovery, (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/11/4k-apple-tv-revamped-siri-remote/) MacRumors surmised that the new Siri Remote could come equipped with an iPhone-style
Taptic Engine that would provide it with touch-based feedback.
Recruitment consultant Chris Smith (https://twitter.com/Alliedhealthwfs/status/777233621878968321) opined that it could be the
Taptic Engine, while biochemical engineer Kris Janssen (https://twitter.com/KrisJanssen/status/777270426108035072) remarked that the sound is normal for CPUs and backed his statement with a link to a (http://superuser.com/questions/19968/processor-noise-what-generates-it) SuperUser thread on processor noise.

The iPhone 7 has already moved on to a static panel that replicates the sense of a 'click' with a
Taptic engine, and next year, it may move on altogether.
MacRumors also notes that there are also rumors claiming that the 2017 iPhone will be packed with advanced features, like wireless charging, iris scanning technology and an enhanced
Taptic engine, among many others.
Apple dropped the headphone jack from the device, creating space for a dual-camera module on the bigger model, while also adding a new
