Apple is looking for a software engineer for the iPhone WiFi team to help develop the next generation of mobile Wireless LAN technologies. This was just added to the job section on the official website and may hint at 802.11n Wi-Fi in the next iPhone.
The next gen iPhone may contain the Broadcom BCM4329 chip capable of 802.11n (but only enabled for 802.11g) which is already present in the 3rd gen iTouch. This speculations are based on the job description and requirements Apple posted on the official website :
- Implementation of 802.11 a/b/g/n & related specifications.
- 802.11i/802.1x Security protocols
- Good understanding of wireless RF technologies & co-existence issues of 802.11 PHYs with other Wireless interfaces like Bluetooth.
