It’s about time! Finally some rumors are emerging on the next generation iPhone. Apparently there are pointers in the newest 2.2.1 iPhone firmware to a new iPhone model, and even some evidence of it being tested.

A poke around the latest iPhone firmware by Mac Rumors has found a product string for iPhone 2,1, a version of the handset that has never been publicly available or else visible in previous firmware.
The 2007 launch iPhone identifies itself as iPhone 1,1, while the current iPhone 3G lists as iPhone 1,2, indicating that it’s a minor revision of a similar design. As with similar practices for Macs, Apple’s choice of 2,1 implies a major update for the handset; the second-generation iPod touch is listed as iPod 2,1 and includes slightly faster internal hardware as well as a significant external redesign.

Apple recently poke about June being the ‘refresh’ cycle time for the iPhone. Who’s betting on new model (announcement) in June, and model release plus firmware 3.0 shortly afterwards? And what do you all think should / will be upgraded in a new model?
