The Raspberry Pi Blog announces:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is now on sale now for $35, featuring:
- 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU
- Dual-band 802.11ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2
- Faster Ethernet (Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0)
- Power-over-Ethernet support (with separate PoE HAT)
- Improved PXE network and USB mass-storage booting
- Improved thermal management
Alongside a 200MHz increase in peak CPU clock frequency we have roughly three times the wired and wireless network throughput, and the ability to sustain high performance for much longer periods.
Video announcement here.
FAQs:
- Not discontinuing earlier Raspberry Pi models
- Raspberry Pi 1A+ continues to be the $20 entry-level "big" Raspberry Pi
- Considering possibility of introducing a Raspberry Pi 3A+
- CM!, CM3 and CM#L compute modules continue to be available.
- Still using VideoCore
Now I am left to wonder how many amps the power supply wall wart needs to be.

Ever heard of wire cutters, drills, and Faraday cages? Disabling wireless on your own HW isn't rocket surgery.

I'm a software guy, not a hardware guy.
Maybe you could pass along a clue and point out which wire(s) in this picture I should cut:

I googled "rasp pi 3 B antenna", and the pictures point to a rectangular component right next to the "made in the UK" silkscreen.
Since your picture isn't exactly the same, but has passives right there to jump a trace towards that shiny rectangle with the engraved raspberry, I'd say you only need to wait a little while to get confirmation from the first guy posting how to add a high-gain antenna.

I think modifying the antenna is a bad idea, it'll cause more interference, and probably still work close range.
Trying to modify the PCB is also a bad idea, especially if you have to do more than one, or replace one down the road.
Just remove the necessary components from the software.
Go in synaptic, search for wireless, and uncheck the drivers.
Delete iwconfig
Something like that
Or get the 2B without wireless.

This will never be a good device for building a firewall though. Also, I wouldn't bother with a "tap" interface, sample the interfaces via software when you need it.

Okay MacGyver, cut the red wire. The red one. No wait, not the red one, the blue one. Yes, the blu.. no, not the blue one!
