The anticipation is quickly mounting as WWDC draws ever closer. Apple’s yesterday release of the latest firmware for the iPhone, 2.0 beta 6, revealed something interesting about the new iPhone. The icon was plus found in the latest version of Leopard, 10.5.3, which was released to Mac owners yesterday. The icon looks very similar to the current iPhone.

Though it looks nearly precisely the same as the current iPhone, there are some minor differences. Mainly the bezel, which is narrower and more squared than normal. The device plus

seems to be slightly taller than the current iPhone iteration. that is the only angle, so we could not see any other dimension comparisons.

It is urgent to note though, that could mean nothing. The device very well could be a poor rendering, which made its way into the software releases. that sounds to be the most likely explanation, as you would expect Apple to be releasing such an icon with the latest version of iTunes to drop after the release of the 3G iPhone.
