New iPhone coming in July, complete with 3D graphics chip?

That's the latest rumour

New iPhone coming in July, complete with 3D graphics chip?
It's getting hard to keep up with iPhone hardware upgrade rumours lately, which gives us one more reason to look forward to next week's World Wide Developers Conference when, hopefully, most of these whispers will be put to bed.

For now though, Kotaku has put a fascinating stick in the spokes of the rumour mill after a source apparently suggested the new iPhone will boast its own 3D graphics chip, faster internet access and improved Bluetooth (to included peripherals such as keyboards and controllers).

We've previously heard how Apple was taking an interest in semiconductor manufacturers, which falls in line with the idea of a dedicated graphics processor.

In other news, Apple has allegedly begun assembling an in-house game design team, which could have a massive impact on the App Store if true. The resources available to this team would dwarf even the biggest current iPhone game developments, and the full access to App Store promotions would ensure these games are always at the top of one list or another.

But as it's all getting so complex, we'll leave off with a rumour compilation put together by blogger Remy, detailing every possibility the new iPhone upgrade could include.





Yes. Spanner's his real name. And, yes, he's heard that joke before.
