Engadget has the latest scoop on the next-gen iPhone. They’ve got a list of what to expect in the next iPhone, most of which sounds legit. Being from a big blog like Engadget, this information is usually right. Ryan Block says that it could ship as soon as this July - although you never know what to expect with Apple.

• Same size and shape as the first gen.
• 3G
• GPS (real GPS, not that cell tower crap)
• Back of the phone is no longer metal—the whole thing is glossy black, from top to bottom. The volume buttons are now chrome.
• Because there is no longer any metal, the phone doesn’t have quite as many angular edges.
• The battery is (still) not removable.
• Will be slightly thicker than the first-gen device.
• The headphone jack will no longer be recessed, and will finally be flush with the body - similarly to the iPod Touch.
• Roughly the same size and resolution screen as the first generation product.
• No word on battery life or capacity.

Today was a very exciting day for all Apple fans all over the world, but also a sad day. The original iPod which we just called “iPod” is no more, it is now suffixed as the “iPod classic.”

The latest update to the classic was announced today. The device is now available in only silver and black metal casings. Seems like Apple is tossing the “glossy” look on a lot of products lately.
