The Christmas rumour mill….

Well, it’s that time of year, snow, Christmas trees, decorations, turkey, presents and now to complete the list, rumours about Apple’s next-gen iPhone.

Yeah, you heard that right. Now, it could be that someone has just got into the festive spirit a little too early and been around the brandy, but the rumours are, that the Apple iPhone 4G (or perhaps 5G more appropriately) will boast a 5.0 megapixel camera, which actually, when you think of it, doesn’t come as much of a surprise really, being the natural “step up” from the frankly mediocre 3.2 megapixel on the current 3GS.

What else can we expect from the next-gen iPhone? Well, we’re only guessing here, but if Apple stay true to form, we’ll see a base model (a la 8GB 3G) with 16GB, with a 32GB model (the 16GB 3GS equivalent) and maybe a 64GB equivalent forming the high-end flagship product. Of course, this is purely speculation, but it’s fun guessing right?

The rumours also state that, true to form, we can expect to see the next-gen iPhone in the second half of 2010 and that Apple are expecting to more than double the sales figures from this year, (20 million to between 40 and 45 million.) Although, the only way we can see this happening, is for Apple to release it’s strangle hold on the networks and let competitive pricing hit the market. Does Apple’s sales forecast finally point towards them seeing sense and opening the iPhone to proper competition within the market, surely not?

Keep an eye on the blog for more details.
