Apple’s latest beta of iPhone firmware contains hidden 3G settings

Monday, May 12, 2008 - 11:52 AM EST

An inactive preference dialog extracted from the most recent beta of iPhone Software v2.0 offers the most concrete evidence yet that Apple's next-generation iPhone will include support for 3G wireless networks

AppleInsider reports, "In a posting to its blog site on Saturday, independent developer Chronic Productions notes the discovery of several 3G-related strings in beta 5 of the upcoming iPhone firmware, and also publishes the below screenshot extracted from the distribution's Preferences binary."

"Most notable is a setting that will allow users of the second-generation iPhone -- expected for an unveiling sometime in the coming weeks -- to disable 3G access in favor of prolonging the handset's battery life," AppleInsider reports. "'Using 3G loads data faster, but decreases battery life,' reads a caption beneath the setting toggle."

I was hoping that Apple had gotten a battery solution potent enough to deal with 3G consumption. Guess not.

I'm sorry, but this looks faked to me. Where's the Wi-Fi setting!?!

Magic Word: moved. Maybe.

What justifies the use of the word "hidden" in the headline?
