Apple iPhone has already created a great niche for itself after its first release in 2007. The initial model was a big hit in the market. Then came the upgraded version a year later, with additional useful features like 3G. And again, the iPhone magic did charm a huge percentage of the consumers. Many rumours have lately been making news regarding a new 2009 version of the Apple iPhone Mobile Phone. What can be expected of this new model? Will it keep up the trend of being the 'Apple' of the eyes of many?

The Apple iPhone 2009, can be expected to feature a larger RAM (256MB), double that of the 2008 version. Also a four-core 600MHz CPU might be used. This indicates that the new iPhone will be a more powerful one which will give enhanced speeds of operation. Moreover, this handset is expected to be available in 32GB and 16GB storage versions.

A 3.2 Megapixel camera might be packed in this device, instead of the 2MP one which featured in the predecessor model. This camera will play the role of a camcorder too, enabling one to shoot videos. Video editing capabilities might be featured in the new Apple iPhone as well. Sending pictures and videos using MMS is also a probability with this phone. There might be a secondary camera for video calling too.

The screen of the new iPhone model is expected to be an OLED, instead of LCD. OLED screens, when compared to LCD screens, consume lesser power. Moreover, this 2009 iPhone is supposed to give a longer battery life too, in comparison with the previous iPhone model.

GPS capabilities with turn by turn directions for road navigation might be another striking feature of the latest Apple iPhone. A compass might also be built into this device. The camera, the compass, the GPS receiver, the orientation sensor and Google maps will work together to give the location of the picture clicked too. Even the presence of an FM transmitter is in the list of the expected features of this new Apple mobile phone . Access to adult content with extra parental control might be featured in the phone as well.

On the looks front, this Apple iPhone 2009 version might be available in matte finish. An Apple logo which emits white light might be present on the back side of the phone. Sleeker in design, this new Apple iPhone will definitely be a handsome gadget if these expectations are true. It is also expected to carry an attractively low price tag. The release date of this phone is rumoured to be July 17, 2009. The model number of this phone might be A1303. Let's hope and keep fingers crossed that the new Apple iPhone A1303 Smartphone turns out to be a reality!
