Compass App and Magnetometer in Next-Gen iPhone?

BGR has scored a few images (above) from one of their ‘ninjas’ clearly showing a compass feature (in a debugging menu) that could very well be built-in to the next-gen iPhone 3.0 firmware. The feature would work off of an on-board magnetometer jammed somewhere into the guts of the device. The screenshots look like the real deal, but still, chalk this up as rumor for now. We may not see this until a later release of 3.0 firmware if we see it at all… Who knows.

Me? I’m still hoping for a Flux Capacitor in the next iPhone. It’s what makes time travel possible.
