      The next iPhone: What we know, and what we think we know

      The latest twist in the iPhone rumor saga is a doozy: instead of just, say, a faster version of the iPhone 4 or a “radically” redesigned iPhone 5 waiting in the wings, at least one Wall Street analysts thinks we might be getting both.
