Rumours have suggested that Apple will integrate an external HD play for the next-gen iPhone

According to reports online, Apple’s next generation iPhone mobile phone will include HD facilities and an external socket for HD AV use.

If the rumours are true this would mean that the next version of the iPhone will be able to play images back at both 720p and 1080i resolutions. A maximum of 480i resolution is available now, but only with a special Apple cable.

The move to HD facilities is alleged to be so that the iPhone can compete against the HTC Touch HD and Touch Pro2. The new software will allow you to watch stored HD content via a WiFi link from the iPhone on an HD/TV.
