The rumors about the possible upgrades we would see on the iPhone in 2010 is endless. And here we have a whole new list of features that is outed by the South Korean carrier KT’s officials. Apple Indsider reports that KT is speculating that Apple might unveil an iPhone with OLED display, video calling capability, removable battery and a dual-core processor as soon as April 2010 (yes April and not May as we heard yesterday). The talks of a dual core Apple handheld is nothing new, given the fact that they have acquired chip manucaturer – PA Semi in 2008 (and over a 100 Intel, Samsung and other tech cos employees now wearing the Apple badge) but an OLED display, removable battery and video calling is surely something to keep up with the competition. Nexus One, the latest iPhone competitor by Google features a OLED display and the same is expected to be a norm for most high profile smartphone releases in 2010.
If Apple decides not to go with its own CPU for the iPhone, the best available option is the Cortex-A9 processor design from ARM that is capable of breaking the 2GHz mark. The original iPhone and the 3G were alone enough to stress the AT&T network and despite pouring in over $30 bln into its network upgradation, AT&T still faces a lot of criticism on the iPhone reception. Any new carrier getting the explosive iPhone 4G needs to beware of this!
We have already heard that the iPhone 4G currently in production has a 5MP camera with LED Flash, multitasking and supports new carriers like Verizon or T-Mobile. If Apple goes ahead and adds a super gaming chip like the Power … and a dual core processor this could well be another game changer in the mobile industry. Apple changed they way smartphones are designed with the original iPhone in 2007, they might still up the ante with the iPhone 4G.
