A new preference was found in the latest iPhone 2.0 Beta 5 distributed to developers. The default preference was hidden but Chronic Productions claims to have activated it. Since that time, we have received confirmation that the text shown is indeed in the iPhone 2.0 Beta firmware, in this case, the screenshot appears to be legitimate. The iPhone 2.0 firmware appears to contain 3G code, but current iPhone owners will not be able to take advantage of the 3G speeds without buying the new iPhone because the older model does not contain a 3G capable Antenna. Thanks to this Information, It is apparent that Apple will be using a common firmware for both the existing iPhone and the unreleased 3G-capable iPhone.
Apple also seems to be giving users an option to fall back to EDGE speeds in order to prolong battery life, due to the higher 3G power consumption.
The 3G-capable iPhone is widely expected to be released in the coming months, possibly at the Worldwide Developer Conference in June.
