Is this a glimpse of the next-generation 3G iPhone design?
Well, given Apple (really, Steve Jobs’s) penchant for tight-lipped secrecy about upcoming products (how many times have we heard that “Apple does not comment on unannounced products?”), it seems unlikely that they let an image of the next-generation 3G iPhone leak out.
