New iPhone Due to Land July 17 With Glowy Logo?

We had heard a few juicy tidbits of the next generation of iPhone earlier this month, but now we’ve got some confirmation and other details, including, but not limited to, a glowing Apple ( logo on the back. Ooo. Aaaah. Here’s the full list of supposed features:

• Discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device
• Apple logo on the back to light up
• Rubber-tread backing
• Sleeker design
• 32GB and 16GB to replace current capacities
• $199 and $299 price-points to be maintained
• 3.2 Megapixel camera
• Video recording & editing capabilities
• Ability to send a picture & video via MMS
• OLED screen
• 1.5X the battery life
• Double the RAM and processing power
• Built-in FM transmitter
• Built-in compass
• Revolutionary combination of the camera, GPS, compass, and Google maps to identify photo and inform about photo locations
• Turn by turn directions

It’s hard to argue with an upgraded screen, better battery life and a beefier processor. It sounds like the form factor itself isn’t going to change, so we might be able to put those iPhone Nano rumours to bed (again). If the July 17th. release date actually pans out, it seems likely that Apple will announce the device at WWDC, which is coming up soon.
