The latest and greatest — July 17 being the rumored launch date, accompanied with a lengthy list of specs. History tells us that when it comes to iPhone rumors, most guesses are a shot in the dark.

Battery life will be 1.5 times greater and its processor will be twice as fast as the current model — though. Aesthetically, the back will be a rubberized material and the chrome bezel will disappear. Most of the list of upgrades seem minor, but some are new like a compass with Google like map combined.
