Remember push notifications? Promised by September, yet here we are in February and there’s still no sign of them. Apparently they had problems with the implementation and yanked it from development builds of the iPhone OS. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if they canned them entirely to instead focus on releasing a new iPhone this summer that supports real background applications.

I think the addition of a front-facing camera that allowed for videoconferencing between two phones (or a phone and a computer) could be huge.

Beyond that, I’d imagine there would definitely be big processor/graphics upgrades which could enable a whole new level of games and applications.

Apple’s very good at constantly pushing to one-up their own products, even when there’s no viable competition. That’s how they stay ahead of the game – they don’t give competition a chance to catch up, because they’re already on to the next thing. That’s what a new iPhone will do.

I’m genuinely looking forward to the next iPhone simply because I believe it will be a complete rework, unlike the iPhone 3G (as Daniel noted). Something tells me the next one might blow the doors open wider than many expect as Apple leverages their new chip design company. I’m quite sure Apple is dissatisfied with the current restrictions that have plagued their handset and will be working hard to increase battery life, allow background apps, and some other tasking features (erm, “Call Mike app” etc) that have had to take a back seat likely due to the mere size of OS X, security, and processor restraints. The first two models were designed to hit the market while they had the advantage, but I believe the next one will be designed the way they want it going into the future.

I’ll bet PA Semi has something to do with this! Haha.

I’ll also predict that the new iPhone, whatever the hardware changes, will have the same size display.

Here’s hoping that they also strengthen the encryption and security to eliminate “jailbreaking” and application cracking.
