The next Apple iPhone would be a major update

Apple has realized that they cannot take Google lightly with their Android mobile platform.M

The company is expected to launch a brand new edition of iPhone later this year. And sources say that this is going to be a major update.

Apple last year introduced the iPhone 3GS which was pretty much an minor update when it came to features.

However, with Google Nexus One launching earlier this year… Apple is all set to go offensive with the iPhone platform.

Industry reports have already indicated that the next iPhone could very well feature video calling functionality in addition to a higher quality primary camera. File downloads is also another feature that is likely to be added.
