New Apple iPhone leaked?

A leaked video of a white iPhone 4 running, what seems to be, an early build of iOS 5 (the operating system that powers Apple iPhone and iPad) or an unreleased version of iOS 4 has popped up on YouTube. A user from Vietnam with the screen name 'tinhtevideo' has uploaded this particular video.

The video shows that Apple may add the much awaited full multi-tasking functionality in the new version of its iOS. It shows that multitasking has been revamped with the icon based multitasking menu being replaced by a new window showing various apps running in tiles. Previously Apple had said that it opted for limited multi-tasking due to battery life concerns. With the impeding launch of iOS 5 and the iPhone 5, Apple might have actually worked out these issues.

Apple has also been promising a white colour in the popular iPhone, but has not been able to launch it. The video shows the iPhone in white, which prompts at a new iPhone launch. The device seen in the video also featured 64GB internal memory, which is double the amount of memory currently available on iPhones. This might indicate a memory bump in the iPhones to come.

Over the past few months there has been a lot of conjecture over the launch of the iPhone 5 which was widely expected at the WWDC (Apple's World-Wide Developer Conference) in June. However, after the Japan earthquake, it seems that the iPhone 5 launch may be pushed back to September as many companies who built parts for the iPhone are reported to be facing manufacturing problems.

In spite of this setback we may still see the launch of iOS 5 at WWDC and probably a bumped up version of the iPhone 4.
