It would packed with an 8-megapixel and 1080p video recording at 30fps available, a second antenna at the top to improve the signal, and the inclusion of an A5 dual core chip running at 1GHz. Here’s what Brian Blair, Wedge Partners analyst had to said:

“We expect the focus of the new iPhone will be iOS 5, a speedier A5 processor and a higher resolution 8 MP camera with a small possibility of a larger 4 inch screen. We believe the casing will be largely similar to the iPhone with some particular modifications to the antennae [sic]. We don’t expect a second, dramatically different iPhone to accompany this as we don’t think Apple needs to have 3 models in the market to address the high end, mid-tier and low end since the iPhone 4 (with memory lowered to 8 GB) will drop to $99 and effectively attack those markets.”
