Latest iPhone Firmware 2.0 Has 3G On/Off Option

Today is just a massive day of news.

This ‘Enable 3G’ option can be found in the latest iPhone 2.0 Beta 5 that has been distributed to developers. This option is normally hidden but one developer has claimed to have activated it.

After seeing this image i decided to decrypt the beta5 rootfs dmg and check out the network.plist and what do you know..i found it

{
items = (
{
cell = PSGroupCell;
id = “ENABLE_3G_GROUP”;
},
{
cell = PSSwitchCell;
default = YES;
get = “is3GEnabled:”;
label = “ENABLE_3G”;
set = “set3GIsEnabled:specifier:”;
},
{
cell = PSGroupCell;
id = “3G_TEXT_GROUP”;
isStaticText = YES;
},
{
cell = PSTitleValueCell;
label = “3G_TEXT”;
},
{

if you dont know what all this code is about, this section (part of a mass code in network.plist) means the 3G option is present meaning the image is legitimate.

Although the iPhone 2.0 firmware includes the 3G code, current iPhone owners will not be able to take adavantage of it without buying a new iPhone. It is also noted that Apple is giving users the option to switch to EDGE speeds in order to increase battery life due to the fact that 3G has higher power consumption.

Be sure to check back soon as news about the 3G iPhone seems to being coming in left, right and center as the Worldwide Developers Conference draws near and is expected to be the moment when Apple reveals the second generation iPhone.
