More news on Apple's worst kept secret
Well, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point. The 3G iPhone is coming very soon, most likely June 9th. Short of a flat out acknowledgment from Apple, the new iPhone couldn't really get much more in the way of confirmation.
Still, that doesn't stop an iPhone crazy public and media following from scouring the planet in search of some sort of 3G iPhone "scoop."
The latest piece of 'news' is the revelation that the 3G iPhone will, indeed, have 3G connectivity.
New blog MacRumors obtained info from a developer that the latest version of the iPhone software features a hidden preference to to turn the 3G connection on and off. The story gets a little weird from there.
More people took a look at the firmware and confirmed the feature. For some reason, however, the screenshot of the feature didn't look right. Engadget took a look at the image and decided that it was, indeed, a fake photo of a real feature.
Regardless, the consensus seems to be that Apple will allow users to turn the 3G connection on and off. A cool feature, but not entirely a shock, as Steve Jobs said last year that Apple wasn't thrilled with the battery drain on 3G phones.
