With only one week to go until the WWDC ’10 kicks off on June 7th, I decided to put together a list of what Apple is rumored to bring on board the next generation iPhone.
The name for this device will most probably be iPhone 4G, since it is the fourth generation iPhone. The first gen iPhone was called 2G, second gen 3G, third gen 3GS and now the fourth generation most probably 4G. Another suggestion for a name is iPhone HD, because it is rumored to come with a HD screen.
A list of what is rumored or confirmed for the next generation iPhone.
- A recent rumor would quadruple the current amount of pixels with a resolution of 960 x 640 (iPhone 3GS has 480 x 320). AMOLED is out of the picture with low production amounts and Apple’s need for enormous productions quantities of their components.
- The phone will have a front-facing camera for video calls. Evidence has also been found in the current iPhone OS 4.0 beta that the 4G will support video-chat features via iChat.
- The iPhone 4G/HD will most probably have an Apple designed A4 chip to power the device. This way Apple can optimize the chip for their needs, and maximize performance and battery life. Could be the same chip that the iPad uses.
- The camera is expected to be bumped to at least 5 megapixels, and also come with a flash.
- Some kind of ceramic back on the phone. This is also rumored to be touch sensitive, much like the surface of the MagicMouse. The back could be used to control the device with even more finger gestures.
- It will come in two colors, white and black. Also the front panel will be white in the white version of the phone. Previously only the back of the phone has been either black or white, the front panel has been black in both versions.
Steve Jobs told reporters after the iPhone leak that we still haven’t seen a thing, and that we will not be disappointed with what is still to come. We sure will know more next week’s Tuesday when WWDC kicks off, and Job’s is said to announce the iPhone 4G/HD.
