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.

Apple is expected to unveil the next-generation iPhone for general availability at the annual WWDC 2010 conference in summer of this year. iPhone OS 4 is also expected to be released at the same event. [via MacRumors]
