Could this be the new iPhone? Tucked away inside both Mac OS X 10.5.3 (released today) and also the newest iPhone SDK (also new today) you'll find this icon, presumably ready to be deployed when the new iPhone shows up. The main difference is the bezel. It's much narrower and also squarer looking. The whole thing is more like the current iPod Touch than the iPhone.
Below you can see an animated gif which morphs between the old and new icons, uploaded to the MacRumors forum thread by frijole. You'll also see a fairly convincing photograph of the new iPhone, which appears very similar to this new icon.
See it for yourself in either
/Macintosh HD/Developer/Platforms/Aspen.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/AspenSupport.xcodeplugin/Contents/Resources
Or, if you don't have the SDK, but have already updated your Mac, here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/
We would have expected this to turn up in an iTunes update on the day of the new iPhone's release, but we guess even Apple makes mistakes.
