It looks like a new iPhone is on the way this June or July, probably packing a 3.2 megapixel camera, gyroscope and larger internal memory. New documents also suggest motion tech could be at the heart of the upcoming new model. There have been reports that two Apple patent applications show that the company has been wrestling with the problem of gesture control in a portable device, and specifically, the issues involved in gesturing to a handheld when the user itself is moving.
One patent outlines an idea where the iPhone can detect when a user is moving and automatically enlarge the UI accordingly, reducing the scope for error. More interestingly, however, the patent diagrams seem to show a front camera on the iPhone, something that isn’t present on either of the existing models. From a games perspective this could add a whole new dynamic to the current touch screen and accelerometer functions. It will be interested to see how Apple continues with this...
