The rumor mill is certainly kicking it up a notch as we get closer to June and closer to the expected announcement of the next version of the Apple iPhone. To help stir the pot a bit more (because clearly the pot wasn’t already stirred up enough), the folks at Apple iPhone Apps received some very cool insider info on the upcoming specs and even a release date for the next-gen iPhone. Without further ado, here’s what they’re reporting:

  • 16GB and 32GB model will replace the current 8GB and 16GB models with the 16GB model now priced at $199 and the 32GB model at $299
  • 3.2 megapixel camera
  • Video recording and editing
  • MMS support finally
  • No more metal band around the edge of the device
  • OLED display
  • 1.5 the battery life of previous iPhones
  • 2X the RAM and processor power
  • Built-in FM transmitter
  • Apple logo on the back to light up (b/c clearly we need to show people we have an iPhone)
  • Rubber-tread backing
  • Sleeker design (as if the iPhone wasn’t already sleek!)
  • Built-in compass
  • “Revolutionary combination of the camera, GPS, compass, and Google maps to identify photo and inform about photo locations”
  • Turn by turn directions

So the release date? The site claims iPhone 3 will be coming out on July 17th which would again place the release date on a Friday. Read more details on the above specs over here: http://www.appadvice.com/newiphone.html

To summarize the above – everything gets a tad bit better with iPhone 3.0
