New iPhone to come with WiFi 802.11n

Apart from HSDPA 7.2Mbps connectivity, rumor is that the new iPhone will also come with WiFi 802.11n support.

This is courtesy of the brand new Broadcom BCM4329 chip that’s in-charge of both Bluetooth and WiFi. According to a resource file, this chip will be used in both the 3G iPod Touch and the new iPhone.

This move isn’t at all that surprising considering that Apple loves to streamline their products both in terms of design and features. With most of their new desktops and laptops already featuring 802.11n support, the iPhone and iPod Touch are the only Apple products remaining that still lack this capability.

With AT&T confirming that a new iPhone is indeed on the way, we can all look forward to June to find out if 802.11n support will indeed be part of the arsenal. Sure, HSDPA 7.2Mbps connectivity and WiFi 802.11n support really does sound nice, but we know you guys out there are still clamoring for more hardware upgrades on the iPhone. So let’s hear it folks, what other enhancements are you dying to see on the new iPhone?
