Tonight’s buzz is about $AAPL new iPhone HD, to be announced by Apple on June 22nd. And an iPhone for $VZ. If you believe the WSJ! And Engadget! I don’t care too much one way or another about the Verizon announcement. I know some do. It’s good for $VZ stock, though. Less good for $T stock.

John Gruber's just weighed in with some more tidbits, in his characteristically polite way. Gruber says the next model will have an A4-class SoC, a 960 x 640 display, a front-facing camera, and that iPhone OS 4.0 will enable third-party multitasking.

Could the whole thing just be a bunch of stinkin’ rumors? Of course. You never know with Apple. For how long has a Verizon iPhone been rumored? Or multi-tasking operating system? Or a front-facing camera? Hmmm?
