Full FeedGlimpse at the Future or Bad Photoshop Job?
In the last two or so months, there has been a myriad of 3G iPhone rumors. So many, in fact, it has really become hard to tell the plausible from the impossible. There have been supposed leaked photos, new shipping manifest items, and dates supposedly confirmed. Here is one more thing to add to your list of possible 3G iPhone confirmation.
A post in a MacRumors forum by mrat93 exposes a hidden file in the iPhone SDK that could be a preview of the next iPhone. The poster found a document titled iPhone.icns (shown above in comparison to the current iPhone). The basic design of the icon shows little overall design change from the current version, which brings up the question about a possible bad Photoshop job that somehow snuck into the SDK. Whatever it is, it is hard to tell the intended size, as the image above comparing the icon found and the current iPhone shows the new icon merely enlarged to a similar size to the current design. Or it could just be another hoax. I don’t currently posses an iPhone SDK to test this on, but if you wouldn’t mind confirming the existence of said iPhone.icns located at Developer>Platforms>Aspen.platform>Developer>Library>Xcode>Plug-ins>AspenSupport.xcodeplugin>Contents>Resources, please be sure to notify us in the comments.
Although this possible design does look pretty sweet, its nothing compared to Isamu Sanada’s iPhone 0805.

iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.

As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
It doesn’t look as though they changed the design too much. I cannot wait to see what the new iPhone looks like. I still haven’t purchased an iPhone yet. I’m waiting for other carriers to get the service. I travel several times each year to South Carolina. AT&T;service in the areas I visit isn’t great.
I love the iPhone 0805 design, but I prefer the rounded corners. I’m not a big fan of the square design but that is minor I could live with it. :-)

But yeah, chances are its nothing, as with every other “leaked” iPhone shot, but you never know :)
