One new tidbit, however, is that Ars was told that there are parts of
the iPhone 2.1 firmware "that were specifically removed from developer
seeds in order to keep them secret from the world." If true, that
means there may be some surprise features that will be announced on
September 9th.

Developers may note that Apple has ceased delivery of iPhone 2.1
firmware betas over the past few weeks, which is consistent with it
having been declared Gold Master in anticipation of the upcoming
release.

Apple is holding a special media event to announce their new products
on Tuesday, September 9th.
