We have already heard or read a number of times in the past that a 5MP camera with LED flash, along with a front-facing cam for video conferencing (via iChat) will be one of the many highlights of the next iPhone. This, along with the rumored high-res 940×640 resolution screen will also fit the long rumored name dubbed “iPhone HD” for the next iPhone.
