Rumour: Details of next iPhone emerge

Published by on May 12th, 2009, No Comments

In typical fashion, details of the next iPhone has started to leak to the internet. This screen shot is from a new model, with a model number not yet available. It can be seen that the model might sport 32GB storage.

The poster who made this available also had the following details:

600MHz processor (up from 400)

256 MB RAM (up from 128)

3.2MP auto focus camera (up from 2 MP fixed focus)

Digital Compass (or “magnetometer”)

FM Radio

This would seem like logical upgrades except for the following:

If the processor is upped to 600MHz it might negatively affect the already poor battery life of the iPhone. Of course they constantly improve power efficiency, and this is primarily a gaming decision I assume.

The FM radio is also unlikely. Apple has been making iPods for a number of years now, why would they start doing it now? The iPhone has a number of streaming applications available which in a way renders the FM radio moot. But it will still be appreciated especially in a country like South Africa where streaming radio is impossible because of high costs.

Any other areas you think the iPhone needs to be improved? Battery Life? Keyboard?
