It’s an accepted fact that we’re only a few weeks or months away from the next iPhone. But we really don’t know anything about the next Jesusphone past pure speculation. A BusinessWeek report probably doesn’t know anything we don’t, but does point out valid reasons why the next iPhone will make video shooting a breeze.
Mainly, Peter Burrows points out that there hasn’t been a dead simple solution for mobile video other than Flip-like pocket video cameras. He reminds that Apple innovated everything from mobile music, photo, and video file storage so video recording must be next. His outlook is rosy with everything from onboard video editing solutions, something like an iMovie mobile app, to an easy way to send the finished product to Grandma for review.
Could all this happen? Sure, we’ve seen plenty of patent submissions that indicate different video shooting modes. And video shooting has became sort of a standard feature on most phones. Until it actually pans out though, this claim will be filed in the rumor folder.
Being an iPhone (or any another Mac’s stuff) being nothing is good enough to notice… isn’t this the point of view of the above bunch of lines?
I love fanboys… you’re a wonderful asset to neuroeconomics… just watching you striving to make a decision you took on a whim a rational one, is making my working day ^_^
In that same spot now are the three circles that detect when the phone is up to your head and to make the screen go black. This might be one large sensor if not that then it’s just circling around the 3 in this print.
This makes perfect sense. In fact, I theorized that Apple might look to add “camera re-invention” as another one of their disruptor job targets within iPhone/iPod touch, in my post:
iPhones, App Stores and Ecosystems

EXCERPT: What if Apple decided to reinvent the digital camera as a smart, connected, programmable device? It would certainly sync up with some of the features they have recently baked into iLife, such as facial recognition and geocoding of photos.
The main thought process here is that the Flip Video cameras (recently acquired by Cisco) have proven that there is a real market for pocket sized video cameras. If you overlay that goodness on the whole iPhone platform play, what type of software value add might developers plug in on the software front?
Food for thought.
