I must admit, I’ve tried to stay away from the 3G Apple iPhone rumor mill this year.. mostly because of the amount of hype that the iPhone received last year. At the same time, I can’t help but stay interested in what I’m reading on the net so I thought I’d pass some of this info on to you in case you’ve missed it this past week. According to Ryan Block over at Engadget, the second generation iPhone is well into the testing phase and several units are already in the hands of some trusted folks. Here’s are some rumored tidbits about the new 3G second gen iPhone:

• About the same size and shape as the original iPhone though a little thicker
• 3G and GPS enabled
• The entire phone is glossy black
• The volume buttons are now chrome
• Battery is still not removable (boo!)
• Headphone jack is finally… get this.. a normal headphone jack that’s not recessed

Note.. the picture shown here and cited in the Engadget article is not necessarily the new second generation iPhone. Nothing is confirmed at all.
