New White iPhone 4G
We did inform you about leaked white front panel of the next-gen iPhone which suggested that Apple might be offering the 4th-gen iPhone in both white and black color models full around to the front panel. And now, some stunning renderings of iPhone 4G / HD in full white color has surfaced to give us an idea on how the real thing in this color variant may look like.
There is no hiding to the fact that most people have love-hate relationship with the all-flat design on the new iPhone compared to the rounded-cornered design of iPhone 3G/3GS. But after seeing these renderers, I can almost guarantee you all loving this new design!
We do not know whether these conceptual images (based on the lost iPhone 4G) will represent the next iPhone in future or not, but in any case, they look pretty darn good as can be seen in the images below.

We have already heard or read a number of times in the past that a 5MP camera with LED flash, along with a front-facing cam for video conferencing (via iChat) will be one of the many highlights of the next iPhone. This, along with the rumored high-res 940×640 resolution screen will also fit the long rumored name dubbed “iPhone HD” for the next iPhone.

New iPhone to have 5 Megapixel Camera
According to a report by The Chosum libo, the next Apple iPhone 4G / HD will feature a 5-megapixels camera from LG Innotek with LED flash. We have already heard similar rumors a number of times in the past that a 5MP camera with LED flash, along with a front-facing cam for video conferencing (via iChat) will be one of the many highlights of the next iPhone.
The recently lost iPhone 4G, which was reviewed and ripped apart by Gizmodo also had a a front-facing camera, and LED flashlight on the back.
While a 5MP camera will be an upgrade for iPhone users (iPhone 3G and 3GS had 2MP and 3MP respectively), it still wont be good enough enough to compete the likes of some of the upcoming phones like HTC EVO 4G and Dell Thunder, both of which will sport a 8MP camera.
