So wee've got it on authority that the second-gen iPhone is already well into testing, and numerous units are floating around in super secret pockets. A trusted source got a chance to check one out, here's what wee've heard.

    * The first thing people will notice: the 2nd gen iPhone will be about the same size and shape as the first gen.
    * It will, of course, have 3G. And proper GPS!
    * The most noticeable physical difference is back of the phone is no longer metal -- the whole thing is glossy black, from top to bottom. The volume buttons are now chrome.
    * Because it's got a little less metal to deal with, it doesn't have quite as many angular edges. The battery is (still) not removable.
    * The phone itself will be slightly thicker than the first gen device.
    * The headphone jack will no longer be recessed, and will finally be flush with the body.
    * The device itself uses roughly the same size and resolution screen as the first generation product.
    * No solid word on battery life or storage capacity.

It could ship (or be introduced) as early as July -- but it's worth noting that none of this is necessarily finalized, and any of it could change between now and its introduction. You really never know with Apple!

Isn't the 2G iPhone supposed to be the iPhone Nano?

Yeah, that whole report is a rumor hat was proved to be false. The "2G iPhone" that they got more details on is merely a glossy black case on a 1G iPhone, which accounts for the thickness. The other features are just speculation by analysts, and are proof of nothing.

Gizmodo Wrote:The first allegedly-leaked shots of the 3G iPhone arrived earlier this month. Yesterday, Engadget claimed that the iPhone was going to look all black and shiny, like in the photo. (Although they didn't say that was a photo of the said unit.) Today, what wee know for sure is that the thing in the photo is just a protection case available for the current iPhone out of Hong Kong. While it's logical to assume that 3G will be in the next iPhone, wee still have to wait to see if its all-black color, the GPS, or any of the other predictions are true or not.
