UNCONFIRMED RUMORS: New Sony 16-80mm f/4.0 coming on July 12, will replace the Zeiss lens?

I got those two messages from new sources. Therefore take it with a grain of salt as this has NOT been confirmed by my trusted sources yet:

Source 1:

Next lens is… 16-80 f4. Is for July 12, second option for a6700. Like fuji 18-55 or 16-80 options. You pick.

Source 2:

I wanted to give you another piece of juicy info for all your hard work. Along with the 15-45 I told you about a while back, Sony will also be releasing a lens to update the 16-70. This is due to the fact that the Zeiss lenses are being faded out little by little. The 16-70 is the next to be faded out.

The new lens will be a 16-80 f4 constant zoom. It will also be kitted with the a6700, although more expensive than the 15-45. It will be optically superior to the old Zeiss lens. It’s going to be great! I will let you know when I have more info about the price/size and other details.

I definitely do believe the Zeiss lens is in need of a proper replacement. But I am not sure this is going to happen on July 12. So far trusted sources
