3G iPhone screenshot is a fake. Probably.

If you felt a great disturbance in the iForce recently, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in joy and were suddenly silenced, here’s why. Remember that iPhone 2.0 beta firmware screenshot that appeared to show an ‘enable 3G’ option? It looks like it’s a fake.

The blog that first broke the news, Chronic Dev, has mysteriously disappeared, but it’s very last post stated that: The 3G screenshot was a fake…”. However, the post also contains a disclaimer that distances the blog’s anonymous contributors from Chronic Productions – the same Chronic Productions that has now been admitted into the iPhone Developer Program.

What muddies the waters is that the final blog entry also states that while the screenshot might be a Photoshop special, it does exactly match the code for 3G support found in the latest iPhone 2.0 beta firmware. So, maybe Mobile Computer and all those other websites were fooled, maybe we weren't...

So, where does that leave the 3G iPhone? Looks like we’ll have to wait until 9th June to find out. Perhaps.
