Next iPhone to Record 1280x720 HD Video?
One of the many new features provided to developers in iPhone OS 4 are new APIs that give developers full access to Video capture data. This could open the door to some interesting apps including Video Capture/Editing and more robust Augmented Reality apps when iPhone OS 4 finally becomes available to the public.
The iPhone 4 Beta SDK, however, also reveals the ability to capture video at higher resolutions than the current standard 640x480 ("VGA") resolution. These preset values suggest that a future iPhone will be able to capture at 720p (1280x720) resolution:
AVCaptureSessionPreset640x480
AVCaptureSessionPreset1280x720
Apple is expected to introduce the new iPhone at the Worldwide Developer's Conference which takes place between June 7-11th in San Francisco, CA.

That would be great. I don't do much video but I'd love to see that. I love shooting with my DSLR but I dont like carrying it around so much. I have a 3G so a 5MP camera will be a great carry around camera.

Loving the news! It's gonna kill the battery though. I'm looking forward to a video phone calling.

Hmm... a 720p camera seems far to 'current' for the iPhone. Normally they have cutting edge software but outdated hardware. Maybe this is BS or maybe Apple are upping their game now they have some real iPhone competitors out there.
