It's no secret to any Apple enthusiast that the next-generation iPhone is right around the corner, as evidenced by the many reports that have surfaced over the last few months.

If you're a regular reader of this site, there should be no need to tell you that webOS is on its way out as HP has decided to discontinue all webOS hardware, such as the Pre and the TouchPad.
