Possibly Leaked Images of Next iPhone? And Other Sketchy Rumors

Not totally true. Apple's PR images still have the old 3G logo.

I assume that is where the graphic designer would get the screenshot. Maybe this graphic designer doesn't have access to 3.0, or didn't even think about how it looks different.
You never know.
MAYBE it isn't going to launch with 3.0. Remember when 2.0 was coming out? You could still buy phones and touches with 1.X for a little while.
Besides, it would have needed to manufactured before 3.0 was final.
I really hope that is not the next iPhone. I may have to just upgrade the software and keep my current 3G. Just having the head phone jack on the bottom of the phone would be enough for me to keep my current phone. That would be ridiculous to put that on the bottom of the phone.
your first 4 points are actually one (that it is 2.0 as opposed to 3.0). your last concern, well look at the current ipod touch gen. lol
You guys realize that this is a graphic on a computer, right?
It's not an actual phone that is running any software. The <2.1 screenshot doesn't prove that it is fake, it just proves that the graphic artist who made the image put Apple's current PR screenshot of iPhone 3G on the image.

Just downloaded one. Those PR images were last modified June 9, 2008 (right after WWDC). Look at any of their promotional images on the website (apple.com/iphone)...all of them are running the updated software.
The only leaker of this would be someone from Apple. A graphic designer working for Apple designing the promotional images for the new iPhone would obviously have access to 3.0.
I call fake...
I call fake. It's the wrong OS. Plain and simple... Apple would not be marketing the new iPhone without the single most significant update to the OS since day 1.
However, The General makes a great point about the second opening being the loud speaker. The speaker has been sub-par on both versions of the iPhone and now they might finally have it right if that is indeed what it is. Also I think moving the headphone jack to the bottom is a much better idea. I find that my iPhone gets a lot of lint in the head phone jack when its top down in my pocket. ( I have no idea how the lint is always there?
) That being said if I put it in my pocket bottom down, the lint gets into the little holes for the speaker and mic, so its a loose loose.
But what ever the one looks like, I can't wait to meet the new one and upgrade! I will miss my 2G though... It just feels so damn good in your hand!

Same... no good.
I'm not saying this is real (in fact I highly doubt it), but remember the last mac mini update? Spy shots people *swore* were fake because the ports didn't line up and because the pic of the box showed a mini with 9 vents instead of 10. Seemed like pretty compelling arguments for the pics being fake... except they were real.
So long story short, apple could have a 3rd gen iphone running 2.0. I don't know why they would, but they could.
And the power button has been moved to the left side. I guess (if this is real) Apple is trying to make the iPhone more like the iPod touch in a sense. (moving the power button to the left side and moving the headphone jack to the bottom)
I hope you are right but I can't see that you can fit camera in that sort of hole there
It wouldn't really matter to me if the headphone jack was at the top or bottom, However if there were to be iChat (front facing video), you would want the cord at the bottom so it wouldn't come over the screen or front facing camera blocking the view. Hope we get it!
The button is on the left. When you flip your phone over and look at the back, the button will appear to be on the right.
Elementary, my dear Watson.

In case they take it down:
Was there always a white iPhone?
ROFLMAO
post of the year!
To me ... this image is a lot more compelling than the others ... though the "Available today" makes me doubt it. I'd be very surprised to see it available the day it is announced (June 8). This could be an old screen image I've just never seen before from iTMS or Apple.com, or a modified old image.
Maybe Steve will walk out with one and shock everyone.

Someone's taken a picture of a real iPhone V3 that was turned off, and because whoever it was (not Apple, but maybe a phone company) wanted to show it 'running' they photoshopped on a picture of iPhone OS they found - in this case an old one.
A real fake would not have got the OS version so totally wrong and out of date.
So discount the display - what about the casing?
