Maybe.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-28557\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Gruber lists a handful of specs, but does so in such a way that it&#8217;s not at all clear if he&#8217;s claiming the specs are the real deal or just the type of specs that would be expected from a real, non-&#8221;lame&#8221; scoop:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>And they have no actual details of the next-generation iPhone. Nothing. Not the A4-family CPU system-on-a-chip. Not the 960\u2009\u00d7\u2009640 double-resolution display. Not the second front-facing camera. Not even the third-party multitasking in iPhone OS 4. All they have is that there\u2019s going to be a new iPhone this summer, period.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There&#8217;s certainly nothing too crazy there. A4 CPU? Sure &#8212; Apple probably didn&#8217;t build that thing solely for the iPad. A 960&#215;640 display (with a resolution <s>double<\/s> quadruple that of the iPhone&#8217;s current 480&#215;320 display) would allow all apps to perfectly fill the screen in a 2x drawing mode, ensuring compatibility and eliminating a major fragmentation issue. A front-facing camera has been rumored since before even the first generation iPhone, and I&#8217;m pretty sure The New Kids On The Block were still huge when the multi-tasking rumor came around. Still, he never outright claims that these are indeed specs that have been leaked to him.<\/p>\n<p>He certainly implies it, though.
