With Palm Pre officially out it was time someone over at Apple took the initiative and leaked some stuff about the new Apple. According to this rumor the iPhone will be launched on July 17 which confirms an earlier rumor we’ve had here.

What we’re actually more interested in are the upgrades of the new phone. The new iPhone will offer you twice the storage capacity, a battery life 1.5 times greater than the former one and a processor that’s supposed to be twice as fast. Are you impressed? The rumor goes on with a full specs sheet:

32GB and 16GB storage

$199 and $299 price points to be maintained

3.2-megapixel camera

Video-recording and editing capabilities

Ability to send a picture & video via MMS

Discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device

OLED screen

1.5 times the battery life of the current models

Double the RAM and processing power

Built-in FM transmitter

Apple logo on back will glow [please let this be a joke]

Rubber-tread backing

Sleeker design

Built-in compass

The camera, GPS, compass and Google map combined will identify photo and inform about photo locations

Turn-by-turn directions

What is it going to be then folks? The Pre or the new iPhone? We still need to confirm those iPhone specs…
