The new iPhone will be an even better machine for media content which means you will be able to enjoy even more video shows. But what about streaming video to, say, a home cinema system?

Apple has a new patent “Media out interface” which we might see implemented soon. According to it the iPhone should be capable of streaming video content from the dock to a TV monitor. The handset will be controlled with the TV/Apple remote and that remote will also let you answer and end incoming calls. Of course the whole playback will be stopped every time you’re making a call.

That’s basically how everything should work but we have no idea when these new features will be available. Maybe this June?
