While the rest of the world is predicting what's gonna bein the new iPhone, and while I'm waiting for boarding here, I thought that Imight as well write an iPhone prediction by iFong. Yes, I do think that there will be a new iPhone in June.Given that Apple has disappointed Steve Jobs and the whole world for annoucingiPhone 3GS, and all the coming Android 2.X phones, they definitely need to dosomething about it. First of all, hardware- Size is gonna stay almost the same. A new keyboard won'tfit into a smaller iPhone, and a bigger iPhone won't fit into the pocket.
- Higher resolution screen is a must, together with the newLED-Backlit IPS screen from iPad Screen. Size is gonna be bigger too, pushing till the edgeof the phone, probably less empty space around the top.
- There has been rumor that the new iPhone will have 5mpcamera with flash, but I don't think there will be a flash. Having a flash isjust so not cool on the hardware. They might probably improve the camerasoftware to take better picture in the dark.
- Better noise cancelling and call quality Last but notleast, definitely a better processor. perhaps A4Mobile Nope, there won't be asecond camera for video call. It's just not cool. Steve will save the space forcamera for something else
Software- There will be a new home screen, with more info likecalendar and notification, allow easier access to those app
- Radio, just likeiPod Nano
- According to one of the patents applied by Apple, there will be a newfeature in which u can have icon of your contacts on the screen. By tapping theicon, it gives you various options that you can do with the contact, e.g. Call,SMS, email etc (click here to see more info)
 credit: Redmond Pie- I don't think there will be a full multi-app capability. Applewill enable some of the built-in app to run in background, e.g. U can switchfrom game to the SMS app without quiting the game. But other apps running inthe background? No way. The UI is just too complicated, not an Apple culture
- Due to the fight between Apple and Google, I don't think turn-by-turn GoogleMaps will be available. U will still need other GPS app to do that
- Now that theiPad is out, I think there will be a mechanism to better sync data betweeniPhone and iPad, eg sync game status, bookmarks in safari and iBook etc,without going through iTunes (through MobileMe maybe?)
- iBook Store in iPhone perhaps?
Name?And the last prediction is, it will DEFINITELY not benamed as iPhone 4G, DEFINITELY! There's no formal definition for 4G, even fromthe telco, and the tech has yet to be finalized. So it would be stupid to namethe phone on something which nobody knows what it's about. What will be thename? I don't know. Perhaps iPhone J? J stands for Jobs? 
It would be sad if the new iPhone is like this...
