More leaked images of the next iPhone? Whether these are real or not, they certainly add more fuel to the blaze of speculation preceding WWDC this coming Monday. If these accurately represent the next iPhone model, Apple has quite a few tricks up its sleeve.
The first image is an enhanced excerpt from the photo below. What we see is two seperate holes above the display screen of the iPhone. Could one be a speaker and the other a front-facing camera?
According to reports, the PTCRB has tested and certified four new iPhone models for use on GSM operator networks. The four models have four different storage capacities, ranging from 4GB up to 32GB.
If the reports are true, Apple is likely differentiating the four models not only by changing the amount of flash memory. Previous leaks have indicated that Apple plans to offer modified software on each model to allow different levels of functionality based on the hardware and price of each device.
More photos of iPhone OS 3.0 have been released, this time from a user in Hong Kong who claims to have seen a prototype. The images aren't the best quality, however they confirm many of the recent rumors swirling around the upcoming model.
Among other things, the pictures demonstrate digital compass, voice recorder, horizontal messaging, and MMS functionality (video and photo messaging). Many of the images also show details about how auto focus will work with the new higher-resolution iPhone camera.
Twitpic user Carniphage has posted a mockup to MacRumors of what the next generation iPhone 3.0 might look like, based on the "4G" bezel that appeared on the website of a Chinese parts seller. Here's the artist's rendition:
Great work, especially using only a few photos of the black iPhone bezel as a basis for the concept. The shape of the black bezel is clearly different from the iPhone 3G, with the speaker much closer to the edge of the device.
