Next iPhone to launch June 8th? Matte black casing, OLED display and a glowing Apple logo apparently.

If rumours are true, Apple’s next iPhone will be released on June 8 at WWDC featuring a matte black casing, OLED display and a glowing Apple logo.

We posted a list of possible leaked specs last week, but frankly all of this is pure speculation just like every other Apple release.

According to Gadget Lab:

“Overall, if these claims are true, this is a relatively minor upgrade. The most notable new features would be the built-in compass (which appeared in earlier rumor reports), the video recorder and editor (the current iPhones don’t support video recording unless you Jailbreak them), the built-in FM transmitter and the OLED screen (which would improve battery life).”

And another set of ‘specs’ according CultofMac:

* 32GB and 16GB to replace current capacities

* $199 and $299 price-points to be maintained

* 3.2 Megapixel camera

* Video recording & editing capabilities

* Ability to send a picture & video via MMS

* Discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device

* OLED screen

* 1.5X The battery life

* Double the RAM and processing power

* Built-in FM transmitter

* Apple logo on the back to light up

* Rubber-tread backing

* Sleeker design

* Built-in compass

* Revolutionary combination of the camera, GPS, compass, and Google maps to identify photo and inform about photo locations.

* Turn by turn directions

* July 17th, 2009 release date
