Chinese website UMPCFever has posted the first live photos of what appears to be the next generation iPhone.

The site showcases the auto focus camera and the digital compass on the phone.

The auto focus camera includes a square on the screen that is used to focus on objects within the square. Users can also move the square by tapping the display to tell the software which object specifically to focus on if it does not do so automatically.

The auto focus camera and digital compass have already been rumored, so the claims here seem to be real.

The Chinese website also showcases MMS and Copy/Paste functions, including Copy/Paste with images.

We also previously reported the first screenshot of the new iPhone compass settings published by BGR.

The new iPhone is expected to launch on July 17, 2009.
