That said, the latest rumours appearing about the new iPhone are all about the camera. This bunch of information suggests that the rear shooter will be 12 megapixels, Apple's biggest jump in years. That change ties in with the idea that they're going to be focussing on camera upgrades this time around, with relatively few other tweaks and a very similar design.

The other major new info suggests that the phone could also be Apple's first to record 4K video. It's becoming increasingly popular for smartphones including models from Samsung and Sony to be able to shout about 4K on the box, shooting in a frankly ridiculous resolution of 3840 X 2160.

It's nice to be able to take incredibly crisp footage of your day at the park but there are definite downsides to 4K. For one thing, the demands of shooting at that resolution have caused phones to overheat in the past. And the video takes up massive amounts of storage space, even with compression on the handset itself. And with the lack of expandable storage in Apple phones that could end up being a serious issue. That's not to mention the fact that most people don't have a display capable of showing off the full resolution footage.

Still you'll always be free to shoot at regular 1080p HD and at this stage we're still deep in rumour territory. Expect some concrete news on the new iPhone soon.
