More iPhone 2 Details: 3G, GPS, Back in (Glossy) Black and a Little Fatter

Ryan at Engadget says they've been chatting up one of the divinely chosen to lay eyes on the second-gen iPhone, and they're claiming a couple details we haven't heard before, as well as the by-now familiar: 3G and real GPS—expected, and hoped for.

It's also a little fatter (probably cause of GPS and battery, which still isn't removable) but you can toss your stupid headphone adapter.

Update: To be clear, neither us nor Engadget were claiming that this is an actual pic, just illustrative (besides, it's a few weeks old, see the in-body link). [Engadget]

A report from UBS Investment Research has raised Apple stock to an estimated $220, and author Reitzes says that it will keep rising by the time MacWorld comes around next year. And it wasn't just iPhone — all sorts of predictions have materialized from the analyst's crystal ball: More »
