A Chinese-language blog UMPCFeaver posted pictures recently that its claims are the first ever photos from a functioning next-generation iPhone. The site translated through Google displays images of iPhone OS 3.0 running some of the rumored new iPhone features we covered here, here, here and here.

According to the report, the new iPhone contains an auto-focusing camera that uses an on-screen square that can be moved around with a combination of taps and dragging to choose the object to focus on. The rumored digital compass and its software is shown as well. Other features in iPhone OS 3.0 are demoed on the site like MMS–supporting video and photos, copy and paste, the Voice Recorder app, etc.
