A mobile phone repair company claims to have gotten a hold of the display that will be used in the next-generation Apple iPhone. Leaked pictures show that this will be bigger than the current one,

It's possible the fourth-generation model will have twice the storage capacity of the current one: 64 GB.
Another unconfirmed report says this upcoming device will have a 5 MPx camera with flash,
