Considering the apps that have come out at the Apple app store, you can bet that Apple has carefully taken that into consideration as far as conceptualizing the highly anticipated next iPhone. And while we all know that the iPhone has many uses, it seems Apple is planning to transform this mobile device into a gaming device as well, equipped with more features to complement the 3D graphics that is expected to highlight it as well.

As well as an improved 3D graphics chip for better visuals the phone will have better Bluetooth support for add-ons like game controllers and a higher-speed network suited to MMO games like World of Warcraft, which was earlier spotted on an iPhone.

This new features are to be expected. Today we see a lot of iPhone users going crazy over the apps they can get and a lot of them have come from familiar game consoles and platforms. The move is likewise seen as the incremental penetration of Apple into the gaming market so don’t be surprised to see Nintendo and Sony studying the moves of Apple from hereon.
