Slightly Thicker 3G iPhone with GPS

Engadget reports that the 2nd generation iPhone will not only have 3G, it will also include a GPS but it will be slightly thicker than the older version.

Engadgets ‘trusted source’ got a chance to check one of the 3G iPhone and this is what we can expect from the new iPhone

• The first thing people will notice: the 2nd gen iPhone will be about the same size and shape as the first gen.
• It will, of course, have 3G. And proper GPS!
• The most noticeable physical difference is back of the phone is no longer metal — the whole thing is glossy black, from top to bottom. The volume buttons are now chrome.
• Because it’s got a little less metal to deal with, it doesn’t have quite as many angular edges. The battery is (still) not removable.
• The phone itself will be slightly thicker than the first gen device.
• The headphone jack will no longer be recessed, and will finally be flush with the body.
• The device itself uses roughly the same size and resolution screen as the first generation product.
• No solid word on battery life or storage capacity.

The 3G iPhone is expected to be introduced this year at the WWDC (Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference) conference in June and could be shipped as early as July. but it’s worth noting that none of this is necessarily finalized, and any of it could change between now and its introduction.
