If this screenshot is legit, then you’ll be able to turn 3G data off to conserve battery life on the new iPhone. Apple sure has thought of everything, huh?
The image was posted on a blog called Chronic Productions which, after a cursory search, appears to have little (if anything) to do with Dr. Dre and more to do with software development.
AppleInsider reminds us all that Steve Jobs cited poor battery life “as one of the primary reasons his company passed on the inclusion of the [3G] technology in the inaugural iPhone models,” so perhaps this setting is his way of splitting the difference.
Of course, we’d hope that the new iPhone would have improved battery life to begin with, rendering this new setting to nothing more than a mere convenience.

I think it’s less a case of Apple thinking of everything and more a case of them doing what they should’ve done in the first place. My N95 has this feature as did my N80 before it.
Hopefully the next iPhone will have more than a good interface to impress. I don’t care how wonderful an interface is if the hardware beneath is below average. I’m counting the multi-touch screen as part of the interface.
:hopes the next iPhone will be worth buying:
