We ease don’t participate the effort conceive of Apple’s 95th impact iPhone (expected to be free in June or July), so until something authorised comes up, we’ll call it iPhone 4G.

Well, the iPhone 4G capableness be a discernment assorted than the grownup iPhone models (including the 3G and 3GS), which every countenance most the same.

The folks over at iResQ effect posted some photos that reportedly exhibit parts of the infant iPhone. It looks aforementioned the iPhone 4G is most 1/4 advancement taller than the preceding iPhones (which are every 115mm tall).

Another difference is that the infant iPhone has a diminutive reflective opencast above the organism (this capableness be foregather a closeness sensor). Also, “the LCD appears to be entireness affixed to the digitizer,” this making the iPhone 4G more kindred to the first-gen iPhone than to the 3G and 3GS models.

iResQ says that this haw not be the effort methodicalness of Apple’s infant iPhone, and add that the parts haw be “for added creation completely,” so for today we should be agnostical most every this.

iPhone OS 3.0 is riddled with hints that video recording is on the way, and the latest is is this supposed screenshot of a revised camera app with a video toggle. MacRumors says it comes up when certain config files are edited to make it seem like a video camera is present, but it’s not clear exactly what steps have to be taken, so we’re treating this one cautiously until we can confirm it. Other secret features buried in the plists are said to include “auto-focus camera,” “voice control,” and “magnetometer,” which is assumed to be a compass. Yep, all stuff we’d expect from an iPhone revision around, say, June, but nothing earth-shattering — and if the video features are as mediocre as the current iPhone camera, we don’t think the Flips of this world have too much to worry about.

Update: Boy Genius Report has scored some other 3.0-culled goodies, including what appears to be voice dialing (“Voice Control” as they’re calling it), a digital battery strength readout, and further evidence of video support. Beta 3, where are you?

Well, what do we have here? According to MacRumors, this could quite possibly be the next-gen Mac mini we’ve been waiting so patiently for. This guy would seem to correspond roughly to other possible “leaks” we’ve been hipped to in the past, including the presence of five USB ports, FireWire 800, Mini DisplayPort, and Mini DVI. Coincidence? Underhanded Photoshoppery? You be the judge.

Update: Looks like the pic hit both MacRumors and AppleInsider at the same time, but the MR forum poster who put it up included some alleged specs: a 2GHz Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB Level 2 cache, 2GB DDR 3 memory at 1066MHz and a ATA Super Drive. Believe what you will!

Okay, so maybe a new browser isn’t the first thing we’d like to see replaced with some fresh thinking out of the App Store — that honor probably goes to the email client, preferably with something that could rival the G1’s capabilities — but regardless, Apple’s infamous “duplication of functionality” argument has hamstrung iPhone developers from even coming close to stepping on the mothership’s toes from day one. Consistent application of policy is still at a premium when it comes to getting iPhone apps approved, it seems — it’s hit or miss, and as best as we can tell, a happy ending involves the crossing of fingers and getting a reviewer inside Apple who’s having a good day. It looks like Apple’s slowly and quietly tweaking its game in response to complaints, though, with MacRumors noting that a slew of browsers have gone on sale in the past day; some of these things have submission dates several months old, so it seems like they’ve been holding in some sort of purgatory while Steve and the gang debate the merits of letting programmers actually practice their trade in peace. Odds are none of these initial entries will hold up to Safari for good, old-fashioned browsing, but more importantly, this might just open up the door for Opera and others to get in on the game.

If there’s one problem with modern operating systems it’s that they’re all rather planar. Sure, OS X, Vista, and others have some 3D tricks up their sleeves, stacking windows and layering them on cubes and such, but when you get down to business everything’s rather more Flatland than Lawnmower Man. Apple, at least, has a plan for changing that in its patent application titled “Multidimensional Desktop,” unearthed by MacRumors, describing a way in which depth could be added to your typical virtual desktop. The patent covers dozens of scenarios, including geometric icons representing applications or documents being attached to the side surfaces, possibly replacing the rather tired “File, Edit, etc.” menus at the top with positional hotspots on the right. Another example describes how light emanating from one 3D icon, a little sun representing the weather, could illuminate the other icons. It all sounds rather conceptual, but with the amount of detail included here (not to mention the familiar dock at the bottom) it’s hard to label this is as just a flight of Cupertino creativity not intended for release.
