We’ve just caught wind that the imminently expected iPhone 3.0 announcement will reveal that the next device to ship out of Cupertino will come with a selection of hard-drive choices. 
We’ve been drowning in a swathe of rumours surrounding the next iPhone release for a while now, and some of the more ambitious suggestions have ranged from a ‘Nano’ style device all the way up to a full-qwerty keyboard model.
What we’ve been pretty much assuming as given until now is that we’ll see the camera bumped up in megapixel department and that we’ll be getting a bigger hard-drive to entice us to bulk out our iTunes collection. And it seems we were at least half right.
A report at Engadget has revealed that we will be getting a larger (32GB) version of the iPhone we know and love, but we’ll also be seeing the introduction of lower-end 4GB & 8GB models, presumably to increase market appeal across the board. The current 16GB capacity will also be kept on as an option too.
We’re not sure if a smaller hard-drive will be the only difference between the 4GB & 32GB models but it doesn’t seem to much of a stretch to imagine a slightly altered configuration in order to offer the ‘basic’ model at an entry-level price.
In related news, the rumoured digital compass also seems to have been snapped on film days ahead of its formal outing, the pics look legit which means that aside of any photoshop toomfoolery it seems that’s another new feature in the bag.
There’s no official confirmation of any of this yet of course, but we’re 99.9% sure that we’ll be getting official word of the next iPhone over the course of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in the coming days.
