Next iPhone Screen Resolution Confirmed at 960x640
The next iPhone screen has been confirmed to be at running at a resolution of 960x640, according to SuperPhone.cz (via Engadget). The site claims to have obtained a next generation iPhone screen (parts have been floating around) and magnified it under a microscope.
From this procedure, they were able to count the RGB elements of the screen and found it to be exactly twice the density in both horizontal and vertical directions compared to the current iPhone. This would quadruple the total number of pixels and increase the resolution from the current 480x320 to 960x640. This would increase the pixel density to a whopping 320dpi -- higher than any other device on the market.
Rumors of this high resolution display were first reported back in March. The big advantage of exactly doubling the vertical and horizontal resolution of the iPhone's screen is that backward compatibility with existing apps would be trivial to implement. A similar pixel-doubling system is already in place for running iPhone applications on the iPad.

Here's a microscopic image of the screen compared to current gene screen and nexus!
All you doubters may have to eat your words (and there are a bunch of you...that digitimes thread was filled with people claiming that they were going to use 720x480...that's just ridiculous)
Apple is officially going to have the illest display on phones...doesn't get any better than 330ppi...I am so stoked about this screen..(in case you couldn't tell)..

Very nice,
If they keep the screen size the same(and I hope they do) I doubt they'll ever need to increase the resolution again.

I mirrored the original site since engadget only has one of the shots mirrored and it wasn't loading very quickly here... took a solid 20mins to load!
Mirror, with all the original images and content here: http://appleguru.org/iphone4grez/
Seems like pretty solid evidence, provided they actually have the unit on hand as they say they do... Should be interesting for developers!

We pretty much knew this was gonna happen when Gruber said so but nice to see more evidence. And don't worry, the people who were doubting before will now come in and say it doesn't matter when the screen size remains the same.
Of course they'll totally ignore all they need to read to educate themselves here: http://daringfireball.net/2010/04/why_960_by_640

Yeah...i posted that link during similar discussion about resolution in another thread last week....and of course they just continued to argue that it wouldn't have this screen..because it either didn't exist, or they figured 720x480 made more sense (which it obviously doesn't...which they would know if they read grubers article..).
Can't freaking wait to get this new iPhone!!!

This is ****ing dumb and a waste of resources. The screen is so damn small and having a resolution that high doesn't make it look better then any of the competitors screens. Even if the screen was the size of an HD2 or Evo you still wouldn't see the difference because the screens are just to small.
