We can't be sure about this. We don't know 'how' the new iPhone saves the data, though I'd certainly go for a 32 GB model. A better camera, HD recording and of course the display with a higher resolution (so high-res movies) will take some more space.
Can't say for the iPhone 4, but my 8GB Flip Ultra HD records in 720p for exactly two hours. Thus (1) minute = 66.66MB (approximately)

Id be happy with that on the iPhone. I just kept reading about the HD recording and iMovie but no where did anyone mention the file sizes.
Well, and there's always a 'back-up' plan. If you are running out of space just send your video to yourself via the email app. From there you can just open it.

My guess is that it'll be close to 2 GB per hour, or put another way, about 35MB per minute.
That's about half what the Flip is getting acording to the post above, so this may be a low guess. But I think it'll be less than the Flip. Somewhere between my guess and the Flip, then, is likely.

Yea, or over 3G (but than again - I've got an unlimited plan and since ATT changed their policy a lot of people don't..)

You can't E-Mail, MMS, Upload a video to YouTube/Mobile Me if the file size is over 20mb over AT&T 3G's network. it doesn't matter if you have an Unlimited Data plan or a 200mb plan, over 3G, 20mb is the cap for upload/download.
Also, your Unlimited Data plan still has a cap of 5gb.

I would say around 2.5GB/hour. But I am sure Apple has optimized the size for the iPhone as its a mobile device.

Wrong. This has been beaten to death. Nowhere does it state this for the iphone plan. Please stop perpetuating BS as fact, thanks. 🙂
I've heard 5GB as well, many places and from many people. Even if this number isn't right, I hope you don't think it's really unlimited.
I agree and disagree with the 5GB cap controversy. I was getting charged extra for data while using my phone at one point. I brought my phone in to AT&T to find out why this was happening. After all, my data plan is "unlimited". He told me that the old plan was capped at 5GB, but there is a new one with no cap (probably still a cap, but higher). He switched me over and I haven't had a problem since. So I guess the argument could go either way.
