Mobile Safari Redesign Is Subtle, Logical [Apple]
Gizmodo —
From an alleged leaked shot of iPhone firmware 2.2, we see that Apple has tweaked the browser ever so slightly (old version left, new version right). The Google search magnifying glass icon is gone in favor of a separate Google search bar (similar to Safari desktop).

iPhone Firmware 2.2 will bring updated MobileSafari

In fact, it looks quite similar but just has a few tweaks to it. The magnifying glass and refresh button have been removed from the top bar and are now replaced with the URL bar and Google search field.
This makes it look much more like the desktop version of Safari. Also, when you refresh a page now it will show a small icon within the URL bar. It's not earth-shattering but definitely an improvement, I think. Are you ...

Cupertino works in mysterious ways, though, and they've decided in firmware 2.2 that it's time to muck with the positioning of the ...
Apple iPhone 2.2 OS beta has refreshed Mobile Safari
Phones Review —
Apparently, the Apple iPhone 2.2 OS beta 1 that was seeded to iPhone developers last week included a reforested iPhone Mobile Safari UI.
The newly designed IPhone Mobile Safari has new done away with the magnifying glass icon and in its place has substituted a search bar that rides shotgun alongside the URL bar similar to the desktop version.
Also the refresh button has been shifted from beside the URL bar and now sits within the URL bar, which brings the new iPhone Mobile Safari UI more in line with the Safari desktop browser version.
