Ready yourself to gorge on yet another iPhone rumor. This one comes from Apple iPhone Apps whose source happens to work on Apple’s hardware development team. There is nothing to validate the legitimacy of the rumor but the specs look worthy enough for the next gen iPhone. Here it goes:

$199 and $299 price-points to be maintained
3.2 Megapixel camera
Video recording & editing capabilities
Ability to send a picture & video via MMS
Discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device
OLED screen
1.5X The battery life
Double the RAM and processing power
Built-in FM transmitter
Apple logo on the back to light up
Rubber-tread backing
Sleeker design
Built-in compass
Revolutionary combination of the camera, GPS, compass, and Google maps to identify photo and inform about photo locations.

July 17th, 2009 release date
