HD video recording on the iPhone 4G confirmed, sort of

We already know the next iPhone will most probably pack a 5 megapixel camera with additional LED flash. That along with the snappy CPU inside surely makes 720p video recording a likely feature. We just found the first hard evidence of that. It was unearthed in the code of the same iPhone OS 4.0 beta that brought us the USB file transfers and the rotation lock.

After some serious digging fellow journalists dug up the following video presets in the code:

AVCaptureSessionPreset640x480 AVCaptureSessionPreset1280x720

This capture presets suggest some future iPhone will pack 720p video recording. The fourth generation is the ideal candidate since it’s rumored to be called iPhone HD and meets the hardware requirements.

All details will be cleared out on the 7 June, when we expect the next iPhone to be announced.
