Apple iPhone to feature a dedicated 3D graphics chip?

Rumours are doing the rounds that the next-generation iPhone will feature a 3D graphics chip, which would allow the device to support far more advanced games. Next week Apple are rumoured to unveil a new edition of the iPhone at the company's annual World Wide Developers Conference. It is already suggested that the forthcoming version of the device will include a built-in 3D graphics chip, operate on a new, higher-speed network and hit retail in mid-July. Improved Bluetooth support allowing third parties to release add-on accessories such as controllers and other hardware items is also suggested to be featured.

If all this pans out then it will be interesting times for all game developers targetting the iPhone (an already successfull gaming platform), watch this space for more news.
