The “leaked” photos of the next revision of the iPhone have people all a buzz. Whether you believe or are skeptical, there is certainly enough information to absorb regarding this story.

To add fuel to the fire, I offer some correlation to a story that surfaced back in March 2010. I recalled today driving into to work that as of May 2010 Apple would stop selling the protective film that many iPhone, iPod Touch and iPod users apply to their devices for protection.

Now if the “rumors” are true it is not too far of reach to conclude the reason for the ban is the film could blur or obstruct a front facing camera’s lens. Anybody who buys a new camera knows that the film attached to a lens for protections during shipping certainly lessons the quality of the picture or video if left attached.

This is not say that the manufacturers of these protective films could easily adjust the design to prevent the obstruction of a front facing camera current film protector’s lack. It is also likely that a new designed iPhone would mean a redesign of the film, given the dimensions are likely to change as well.

If you were on the fence (and I don’t know why you would) with the iPhone HD stories of this past week, maybe this could move one to believe the recent stories surrounding the new device from Apple.
